the pump room is a room which pumps water up from beneath the ground so that the inhabitants of the town or village could drink it. the water was suppossed to have healing qualities. a pump room would be found in spa towns such as bath. as well as being available to drink the water you could buy tea etc. you can still attend these rooms today. although i would not suggest that you drink the water as it is very sulphary i did just so i could try it.

god bless
