Harrogate: History and Guide

Part of the Tempus History & Guide series, this book offers an in-depth look at the English town of Harrogate, which for many produces an image of aristocratic gentility, fine hotels, parks and gardens, The Stray and, of course, a famous Spa. The town's motto, "To Be of Service," is a clue to understanding the Harrogate story of the last century, with its huge emphasis of pleasing the visitor.

Summary

A comprehensive history of Harrogate to encompass both its pre-Conquest origins and the most recent development. Relating the decline of the spa business during the twentieth century, it chronicles the developments of recent decades, including the revival in the town's fortunes brought by the conference trade.
