This print captures the timeless elegance of Pittville Pump Room, nestled in the picturesque Pittville Park in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Once a thriving spa town during the late 18th and early 19th century, Cheltenham's rich history is beautifully showcased through this architectural gem. Built between 1825 and 1830 as a business venture for Joseph Pitt, the Neo-Grecian style of the Pump Room exudes grandeur and sophistication.
