We are all very fond of our #TunbridgeWells Chalybeate Spring. Even if some of us are not very fond of the taste! ImageImage
After Queen Henrietta Maria visited a physician Dr Lodowick Rowzee in his publication 'The Queens Welles' suggested that visitors drink between two and ten pints a day of the waters!!!
With this in mind we thought we would share some of the images of our Spring for you to enjoy. ImageImage
These include postcards and souvenir sets and also images from the dipper in 2018.
You may have seen these on our Tunbridge Wells Heritage Open Days page.
However, we would like to make this statement relating to the current state of affairs on The Pantiles: ImageImage
A candidate in the local #TunbridgeWells election is claiming we support the development of the Pantiles spring. Not so.
From the start we questioned the Council disposing of its lease to a commercial developer. ImageImage
We wanted to see an agreed development of the public asset, the historic origin of the town. #TunbridgeWells
The changes now taking place at the spring are too drastic, too large for the space, and historically out of keeping.

Our next event for 2023:
Thursday 11th May 7.30pm at Christ Church, High Street, Tunbridge Wells, TN1 1UT
Non-members are welcome (suggested £5 donation).
'Lost Structures within Tunbridge Wells' - an illustrated talk by Nigel Stapple of WKD Archaeology. Image
His view is that before our town's commonly assumed founding date of 1606, what we now know as Tunbridge Wells was perhaps not so sparsely inhabited as one might believe: through archaeological research, a broader picture of the wider settled landscape is becoming clearer,...
...ranging from prehistoric structures to medieval dwellings, and telling a new story about the evolution of our town and surrounding villages.
