Horticultural Fete at Cheltenham - the Well Walk and Pump Room, 1850. Flower show in Gloucestershire. 'Immediately on entering the grounds the visitor is struck with the grandeur of an avenue of majestic elms, the length exceeding a quarter of a mile...In the centre of this graceful grove stands the new Pump-room...It is a stately hall, and the largest room in the county...The specimens of flowers and plants occupied the Pump-room, and an immense marquee, which enclosed the whole of the centre walk'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
