Chandelier in Pump Room
 |
The Pump Room is a set of elegant chambers built above the old Roman baths. It was to the Pump Rooms that the upper classes flocked when they came to Bath to "take the waters".
Here you may sample the waters for a small fee. Warning! The waters at Bath have a very high mineral content, and not everyone has the stomach to down an entire glass of this natural liquid!
The chambers you can visit today are essentially the third Pump Room. The first was built in 1704, in the style of an orangery. This building was remodeled in 1751, and then completely rebuilt in 1796.
