EDITORS COMMENTS
Harrogate, North Yorkshire: A Popular Wartime Watering Place for British Society (1915) During the tumultuous period of the First World War, Harrogate, a picturesque town in North Yorkshire, England, emerged as a favored destination for British high society seeking respite and rejuvenation. With the well-known German spas off-limits due to the ongoing conflict, Harrogate's renowned natural spring waters and elegant spa facilities attracted the attention of the aristocracy and the wealthy. In this photograph, we witness various members of society enjoying the delights of Harrogate Spa during wartime. The top image captures Grand Duchess George of Russia, who ran two hospitals for the wounded in the town, accompanied by Sir Frederick Milner as he inspects them. The grand duchess, a prominent figure in British society, had fled the Russian Revolution and found refuge in England. The bottom left photograph depicts Lady Enid Fane, gracefully taking the waters at the Pump Room. The middle image shows Lord Zetland, a Scottish peer, leaving the famous baths, while the bottom right corner features Princesses Xenia and Nina, daughters of Grand Duchess George, enjoying the therapeutic benefits of the spa. These images offer a glimpse into the history of Harrogate as a popular watering place during wartime, providing a momentary escape from the harsh realities of the First World War for the privileged few.
