  • Vlaho Bukovac and My Search for His Paintings in England
    VLAHO BUKOVAC AND MY SEARCH FOR HIS PAINTINGS IN ENGLAND It was in the late 1980s, after I had read the delightful autobiography by the painter Vlaho Bukovac, 1855 – 1922, published in Zagreb in 1918, that I realised that this important Croatian artist had found “home from home” in North Yorkshire, just as I had done in the small town of Bedale, my late husband's family home. Harrogate, where Samson Fox, 1838 – 1903, one of Vlaho's most important collectors in England lived, was only a matter of miles away from Bedale, a drive of less than an hour. Harrogate was then, and still is today, a lively spa town, where people came to drink sulphur waters for their health, to spend a holiday, to enjoy themselves, to make friends, to see exhibitions and to go to the theatre. The famous Royal Pump Room, now a museum, was a place to meet. Samson Fox, the ancestor of the present day well known acting family, Edward, Robert, James, Emilia Fox, to mention just a few, was a self-made engineer and a clever business man, who had invented an important part for the engines of steamships and had thus become very wealthy himself. He had been elected three times the Mayor of Harrogate, never repeated since, owing to his good works and generosity to many causes. His bust, by Prince Victor von Hohenlohe-Langenborg, still graces the corridors of the Royal College of Music in London. Fox had donated £45,000, a very large amount at the time, for the building of the College in 1894.

  • Early Harrogate Bands
    Presentation at the National Association of Brass Band Conductors annual meeting 17th February 2002 Wetherby, West Yorkshire Gavin Holman HARROGATE SPA Since the early 17th century the waters of Harrogate had been taken by locals and visitors to the area. The chalybeate springs of High Harrogate were originally the more popular, but by the middle of the 18th century doctors had discovered a satisfactory method of using the sulphur wells of Low Harrogate for internal treatments and extended their use in baths. A total of 87 springs arise within the town's boundaries. The town's peak of popularity as a Spa was during the late Victorian and early Edwardian period. Much was said (and still is) about the particular taste and odour of the sulphur wells products! THE PRESCRIBED DAILY ROUTINE A recommended length for the "cure" was at least three weeks for "permanent benefit to be gained". • 7am-8am - Rise and visit Pump Room for first tumbler of water • 7am-8.15am Walk about, listening to the band • 8.15am Take second tumbler of water • 8.15-9.00am Listen to the band and if prescribed take third glass of water • 9.00am Breakfast. For some people it is advisable that they drive; either by omnibus, carriage, or bath chair but the walk home can be advantageous if it can be accomplished without undue fatigue. Care should be taken to avoid exertion. • 10.00-11.00am Morning paper or letter writing • 11.00am Shopping/Walk/Listen to band/or Bath • 11.30am Second visit to Pump Room • 1.00pm Rest for half an hour • 1.30pm Lunch to be followed by one hour of rest Afternoon Driving, Walking, Cycling, Golfing or third visit to Pump Room.
