EDITORS COMMENTS
In this birds-eye view illustration from the 1930s, we are transported to Ben Rhydding near Ilkley, West Yorkshire, where a picturesque transformation is taking place. Originally known as a spa hydro, this establishment had long been renowned for its therapeutic waters and tranquil surroundings. However, by the 1930s, Ben Rhydding underwent a significant metamorphosis, rebranding itself as a golf hotel. The illustration reveals the extent of these changes, with much of the spa hydro's grounds having been adapted to accommodate a stunning golf course. The undulating terrain, dotted with trees and shrubs, provides the perfect backdrop for a challenging yet enjoyable game of golf. The winding paths and meandering streams add to the idyllic setting, creating an inviting atmosphere for golfers and leisure seekers alike. The spa hydro's original buildings can still be seen in the illustration, nestled amongst the greenery. These elegant structures, with their distinctive rooflines and ornate detailing, stand as a testament to the rich history of Ben Rhydding. Despite the changes, they continue to exude an air of sophistication and charm, adding to the overall allure of this enchanting retreat. As we gaze upon this illustration, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of Ben Rhydding and its ability to adapt and evolve while retaining its unique character. Whether it was a place of relaxation and rejuvenation at the spa hydro or a venue for friendly competition on the golf course, Ben Rhydding has always been a cherished destination for those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
