THE PITTVILLE PUMP ROOM AND PITTVILLE PARK

This beautiful Regency style building is surrounded by a park and was built in the 1830s by the wealthy Joseph Pitt. The Pump Room quickly became an attraction where the famous local water, discovered in the 1715s, was drawn from. In 1788, King George III and Queen Charlotte came to draw water from it, giving the place its reputation. The spring comes out in the park and you can taste the alkaline and salty water. The auditorium is also open to the public.
