    The Old Magnesia Well Pump Room in Harrogate's Valley Gardens is a Grade II listed Gothic-style building dating from 1858. Originally constructed for dispensing mineral waters rich in sulphur, iron, and other elements believed to be beneficial for ailments such as gout, rheumatism, digestive disorders, and anaemia, it played a significant role in establishing Harrogate as a renowned spa town. The building was restored by the Friends of Valley Gardens and opened to the public in October 2015. The restoration included the creation of a rock, peat, and sensory garden, enhancing the visitor experience. The site is open to the public on the first and third Sundays of each month, from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM. In recognition of its revitalization, the Old Magnesia Well Pump Room and its surrounding gardens were awarded a Platinum Award in the open spaces category of Yorkshire in Bloom 2016, as well as the Harrogate in Bloom Shield in the same year.
