Formerly pump room and baths to Nottington Spa, now private

(RCHME). Smooth rendered and scribed, slate roof.
EXTERIOR: a lofty octagonal building in 3 storeys and
basement, with a central octagonal brick stack to the
pyramidal roof. Each face is contained in full-height panelled
pilasters. At second floor all windows are 12-pane sashes on a
sill band, except to the S, which has a blind panel, and first
floor has 16-pane, again with a blank to the S (the road

At ground floor there are two 2-light casements, (one of these
with margin-pane glazing), one 16- and one 20-pane sash, a
blind panel to the E, and, to the NE, an arched opening with a
pair of glazed doors with margin bars, under a fanlight, and
on 2 steps. The original projecting gabled porch, to the SE,
has a sash in an arch, and, in the position of the former
doorway, a 16-pane sash with a blind panel below. On the W
side is a late C20 small lean-to porch and door. The basement
has four 2-light casements remaining. A plain string at first
floor, and a small plinth.
INTERIOR: is divided by a central N/S wall, with the
fireplaces, and the basement is said to retain the pump.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the 1867 Kelly's Directory, in the entries
for Broadway ('..more properly spelled Broadwey...') says of
The Spa '... the waters are of that quality termed hepatic of
sulphereous. The late proprietor erected a handsome Spa
House... consisting of a pumproom, with warm, cold shower, and
vapour baths.'
(RCHME: Dorset, South-East: London: 1970-: 360; Kelly's
Directory: Kelly ER: Dorset: London: 1867-: 25).
