OLD SPA INN

 

 

 

 

 

Location:  Half way up Abbey Street, on the right hand side.

Historical Information:  Built in 1733 by Dr William Chauncey around a mineral spring. He built a handsome cold bath, changing rooms, a rest room and a pleasure walks at considerable expense. Unfortunately, Chauncey died three years later and the plan to compete with Buxton never really took off. Later it became a private residence, before in 1832 being established as a inn. The inn was refurbished and opened out in the 1980s, and again at the start of the present century further improvements were carried out.

Curiosities:  Traces of Chauncey's baths still remain and a survey in 2001, found what appeared to be a sunken bath that suggested the system was based on Roman Baths.
