The Foley Hotel, Great Malvern
Built in 1810 - it should be celebrating its 200th anniversary this year.
Unfortunately the owners ceased trading on Monday.
Workmen arrived to change the locks and board up the ground floor windows, but many staff refused to leave, creating a news story for the regional television stations.
In 1891 the Queen's grandmother, Princess Mary of Teck, stayed here for six weeks and the hotel now bears her coat of arms above the entrance.

Former pump room and baths
The former pump room and baths in Worcester Road were designed by Samuel and John Deykes in 1819 and opened in 1823.
I think the original building is the right half with an extension added to the north as there are four "wreaths" above the middle and right arches, but only three above the left end.
Further to the left (with sadly boarded up lower windows) is the Foley Arms Hotel, also built by Samuel Deykes in 1810.
The building off the far right of the picture is John Deykes Classical Library.

Barclays Bank - The Royal Library
The Royal Library (now Barclays) was built in the early 19th century for visitors to Malvern decades before the Water Cure boom of the 1840s. It was renamed from, simply, the Library House after the visit of Princess Victoria in 1830. The existence of this one building could well have determined whether it was Great Malvern rather than Malvern Wells that blossomed into a town. The spire to the left along the Worcester Road is that of Holly Mount Church built close to the house of the same name where Victoria had stayed in her youth.

The (old) Pump Rooms
Built long before Malvern became famous for its "Water Cure". Immediately to the north of the "Royal Library". These two buildings probably made Great Malvern become the centre for the "Water Cure" rather than "Malvern Wells".
