Harlow Carr These 6 pillars once formed part of the entrance to the 'Royal Promenade and Cheltenham Pump Room' [later known as the Royal Spa Concert Rooms], which was built in 1835 on the corner of Ripon Road and Walker's [now King's] Road in the town centre. Behind the classical Greek style entrance was a saloon a hundred feet long and thirty three feet wide, used for dances and concerts. There was also a pump room for the Cheltenham saline spring - so named because of its similarities to the spa waters of Cheltenham. The pillars did not come from the Royal Hall of 1904, but from the building next door which was demolished some 60 years ago.
