A new art installation will celebrate the 450th anniversary of William Slingsby's discovery of spring waters at Tewit Well in Harrogate.
Sound and light artists Dan Fox and James Bawn will bring the history to life on Crown Place, which is the cobbled street between the Crown Hotel and the Royal Pump Room Museum.
Called '1571 The Waters That Made Us', the artwork will consist of recordings of water sounds, from deep underground noises to the well and the tap water sounds at the pump room museum.
Mr Fox said:
The temporary exhibit will be in place from October 17 until October 23. You can visit for free between 2pm and 9pm daily.
It will form part of the build up to the four-day Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival, which takes place from October 21 to 24.
