Join me on my merry trek of old ruins, cinemas, railways and things that just catch my attention around Yorkshire and the UK. John.

White Wells Spa Cottage, Ilkley

View this post on Instagram

White Wells Spa Cottage where in the 18th century were fitted 'two commodious new baths with sitting rooms adjoining for the accomodation of such persons as may wish to visit this Spaw. The medical qualities, famous for the cure of tumours and sores proceeding from scrophila and other disorders - recommended for - bad eyes - the spine - or the constitution enervated'. One of these plunge baths still remains in use. Also the cheaper 'Poor Bath' (now toilets) and drinking fountain. Sunny day on the moor, sadly the cafe was closed :( #whitewells #whitewellsilkley #ilkley #ilkleymoor #spa #historicbuildings #wells #drinkingfountain
