Discovered (or at least publicised) by Dudley, Lord North in 1606. A village grew up around the spring, and this evolved into the town destined to become so popular during the Regency period.
I visited the site in July 2005 and the spring is now situated under a Georgian house in The Pantiles, a pedestrian area in the historic centre of the town.
