Designed
by Thomas Baldwin, this building became a popular meeting place in the
18th century and under the leadership of the Master of Ceremonies Beau
Nash, Bath became a leading resort for fashionable society.
Inside the present Pump Room there is now a restaurant where you can
take morning coffee, lunches and afternoon teas to the accompaniment
of piano music or the Pump Room Trio.
You
may also sample the hot spa water which still wells up from 3km below
ground and has been drunk for centuries as a curative and general purpose
panacea.
