Scope and Content Peebles Hotel Hydropathic, Innerleithen Road, Peebles, from the south-west Peebles Hotel Hydropathic, a hotel specialising in a choice of water cures, opened in 1881 in a commanding site on the wooded slopes of Venlaw. This photograph of the hotel was taken in 1894 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. This huge five-storeyed hotel, designed in a French Renaissance style, had a long conservatory built as an extension to the west. The cabbage field (foreground) was part of the kitchen garden which supplied fruit and vegetables for the hotel's 200 guests. The Peebles Hydropathic Company began building the hotel in 1878, and completed it in 1881 at a cost of £70,000. The architect, John Starforth (1828-98), had designed several churches in Edinburgh including one described as 'all rather French'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
