Heritage Open Day: The Old Magnesia Well Pump Room is a listed building designed by architect John Stead in 1858, to serve magnesia water to Harrogate Spa visitors. Inside is a working recreation of the pump and an exhibition of the history of the gardens At the heart of The Valley Gardens is a unique geological area called Bogs Field because of the 36 different mineral water springs that emerged in this area, no other place on earth has such a variety of waters so close together.
In 1841 wellheads were built and Bogs Field was drained, then as part of the improvements in 1858, the small pump room was built to serve one of the most popular drinking waters, the Magnesia Water.
