Possibly the oldest Postcard of the Sulphur Well, now described as the Royal Pump Room.  Postmarked 1906 and published by the "Philco" publishing co.  Possibly based on a photograph but the figures appear to have been added. The building now houses the Harrogate Pump Room Museum.  Some images of the building without corresponding postcards follow.
