Kent, Tunbridge Wells, The Pantiles c1930's
In
1606, a little over 400 years ago, Dudley Lord North happened
upon a spring which today is known as the Chalybeate Spring.
He declared that the iron rich water was good for your health,
and people flocked to try it. Tunbridge Wells became - and remains
- a popular and fashionable place to visit.
The
fashionable row of shops that followed, included tea shops,
hotels, inns and gaming houses e.g. and these are still in evidence
-
known as the Pantiles, all accessed via a covered walkway.
In
1909, King Edward VII - because of its' popularity - endowed
the prefix 'Royal' to the town name, and the name became Royal
Tunbridge
Wells. It is one of only two places in England thus endowed.
