William Slingsby announced he had discovered the first mineral water spring in Harrogate in 1571 when claimed the water drawn from the Tewit well had the same healing properties as the water from the famous springs of the Belgian town of Spa.

As the years went by more springs were discovered and more visitors came to take the waters as the popularity and fame of Harrogate grew, by the 1860’s there were 30,000 visitors a year to Harrogate.

Harrogate reached the peak of its popularity in Victorian times with many fine public buildings. The housing stock also reflects the wealth and prestige of this period with many fine houses from the Georgian period through to Edwardian times, all of which contain a wealth of decorative plaster mouldings

Harrogate has long been a popular area with our customers and all our plaster coving and ceiling roses are made by hand using the same techniques and materials as they were in Victorian times. We have a full range of period and modern cornice designs, though some are more popular than others in an area such as Harrogate, where  styles such as Swan neck coving are extremely popular as they were in Victorian and Edwardian times we have a full range of sizes with LPC073 ideal for larger rooms with higher ceilings, and MPC065 for lower ceilings and smaller rooms, for something more elaborate LPC019 for a fine entrance hall.

We have experienced cornice fitters we can recommend to install our coving and samples are available of all our products, samples usually arrive in a couple of days and delivery of coving to Harrogate should take no more than a week.
