Buxton Crescent, designed by the architect John Carr - inspired by Bath Crescent- and built for the Fifth Duke of Devonshire between 1780 and 1789
The whole building was closed when major structural problems were discovered in the assembly rooms, and by 1992 lay empty. Renovation works were delayed due to the need to protect the important commercial thermal water springs under the building (now bottled uphill past the ailway station) but by 2016 work was underway.
The plan for the building complex is for a 79-bedroom 5-star hotel, natural baths, a visitor interpretation centre, a thermal mineral water spa and specialist shops
