@gilbertwood Thank you for your comment and fav Denise Harrogate's development as a prosperous and flourishing spa town dates back to the 16th century. William Slingsby discovered the first spring in 1571 in the area now known as High Harrogate. It was named the Tewit Well Spring and the water coming from this spring was found to be medicinal:)
