Description
The Hockley Spa Rooms, located at 54 Spa Road, are the pump rooms of a small spa that was started in the early 1840s by Robert Clay and his wife, who discovered a medicinal spring in 1838. The building was designed by architect James Lockyer in 1842 and is now part of a factory. It was previously used as a Baptist Chapel. The structure is faced with stucco and has a grey slate roof. It features five bays, with the three central bays projecting forward. There is a heavy moulded cornice and parapet, along with four Tuscan pilasters on the central bays. The windows are tall, arranged in a 1:3:1 pattern, with semi-circular heads and glazing bars. A central parapet panel displays the title "Hockley Spa." To the left bay, there are later glazed brick extensions topped with a corrugated iron roof. The right rear return includes five Tuscan pilasters, a moulded pediment, and a blocked semi-circular headed window. A 20th-century factory extends to the rear and right, while a 19th-century red brick house is situated to the left.
