St John's Well

St John's Well is a spa water well in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The well was discovered in about 1631 by Dr Michael Stanhope, who wrote about it in Cures without Care. It was the second to be identified in the area, after the Tewit Well. It was initially known as the "Old Spaw", and later as the "Sweet Spa". A toilet block was constructed by 1656, then a wellhead was built in 1788 by Alexander Wedderburn. In about 1842, this was replaced by a new wellhead, designed by Isaac Shutt. The well closed in 1973. The wellhead has been grade II* listed since 1949. The wellhead is a pavilion in gritstone, with pilasters, a cornice and a pierced parapet. There is an octagonal plan, with three windows and a doorway alternating with plain panelled sides. The doorway and the windows are round-arched with an architrave and a pediment, the doorway pediment on console brackets.

Empress Hotel, Harrogate

The Empress Hotel is a historic building in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The Empress Hotel was in existence by 1640, the first accommodation in the town. It was later renamed as the "Bay Horse", and although it was a single-storey building, it was large enough to host an inquest of the Royal Forest Court. It was rebuilt in about 1870 as a much larger, three-storey hotel, and returned to its original name. In 1965 the top storey was removed, and the facade was altered to the Georgian style. The building was grade II listed in 1975. The building is constructed of rusticated gritstone and has a slate roof. It has two storeys and is ten bays wide. Over the middle four bays is a pediment containing a blind lunette. The entrance is in the centre, the windows are sashes, and on the right is a segmental-arched carriageway.
