The Pump Room

The Pump Room was a popular place in Bath and still is today. The thermal waters of Bath were a popular thing for people not only to bathe in but to drink, hence the name Bath. The water in Bath was thought to be healing, and people would come from around England to experience the healing waters. People would drink from the stream, and thus William Oliver (a doctor of the time) persuaded the city of Bath to build a building to shelter the drinkers. It was completed in 1706. The Pump Room became a popular place, not only to drink the waters but to promenade and walk with friends.

“But Dorothea was strangely quiet—not immediately indignant as she had been on a like occasion in Rome. And the cause lay deep. She was no longer struggling against the perception of facts, but adjusting herself to their clearest perception; and now when she looked steadily at her husband’s failure, still more at his possible consciousness of failure, she seemed to be looking along the one tract where duty became tenderness.”
