EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting image of The Pantiles in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, circa 1910s. The Pantiles, a beautiful Georgian colonnade, is a popular tourist destination and a key feature of this historic spa town. Originally built in the 18th century, this elegant arcade is lined with quaint shops and inviting cafes, offering visitors a unique shopping experience. The Pantiles was once a fashionable resort town, famous for its mineral waters, which attracted the wealthy and aristocratic classes during the 17th and 18th centuries. The town's reputation as a popular health resort continued well into the 1900s, drawing visitors from all over the country in search of relaxation and rejuvenation. In this photograph, we see the Parade, a central part of The Pantiles, bustling with activity. People can be seen strolling along the colonnade, enjoying the sunshine and the picturesque surroundings. The shops, adorned with colorful signs and displays, offer an array of goods, from souvenirs and trinkets to fresh produce and local specialties. The Georgian architecture of The Pantiles is on full display in this image, with its graceful arches, intricate stonework, and elegant facades. The natural spring water, which flows from the Chalybeate Spring, can be seen bubbling up from the ground in the foreground, adding to the town's unique charm and character. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of a day out in a beautiful town were enough to bring joy and relaxation. The Pantiles remains a popular destination today, offering visitors a glimpse into the past while providing modern amenities and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.
