Good God; two in a row. The theme today was Converted. This fine old building is the Pitville Pump Room and is listed Grade 1. It was commissiond by a man named, would you believe it, Pit. it was to be the centrepiece of a new town he intended to found called, erm, Pitville. the town was to rival nearby Cheltenham but things didn't quite work out that way; Cheltenham boomed in the 18th and 19th centuries and rather swallowed up what was to be the eponymously named conurbation. Still, 200 years on this fine building still stands but has now been converted (see what I've done there) into a sort of conference centre-cum-wedding venue.
