-
Description
"Well head structure of late C18 date with later additions, in dressed sandstone blocks with a stone slate roof....The structure of the old Spa Well can be stylistically dated to the late C18, and is marked on a map of 1837 as 'Spaw Well'. It was in the early C19 that Spittal began to be developed as a resort, and the `New Town' began to be built up in order to attract visitors for sea-bathing and to drink the waters from the Spa Well. The well was valued as a source of iron, lime, magnesia and sulphate of soda. The Well is also marked on the 1866 OS 1:10560 map, by which time other houses had begun to appear in the vicinity...." -
