Scarborough Spa - from a sketch by Miss Claxton, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Scarborough Spa - from a sketch by Miss Claxton, 1858. Resort on the coast of Yorkshire. Apart from the excellent qualities of its mineral waters, the "queen of watering-places" is famous for its romantic and picturesque location...The Spa House is handsome and commodious, and is reached from the town by a bridge, called the Cliff Bridge, which was built in 1826, in order to afford facilities for obtaining the waters without the trouble and fatigue of a somewhat steep ascent. The mineral waters owe their discovery to a lady, a Mrs. Farrow, who lived at Scarborough in 1620, and who observed that...it must have medicinal properties. Mrs. Farrow having caused experiments to be made with it, it was found to answer so well for many disordered conditions of the human frame that it became the usual physic of the inhabitants. Its fame soon extended all over Yorkshire, and in process of time it acquired a reputation scarcely second to that of many of the German spas. Its effects in debility arising from diseases of the stomach and digestive organs, on the kidneys, &c. are well known, and, in combination with pure bracing air and delightful sea-bathing, has made Scarborough the resort not only of all health and pleasure seekers in Yorkshire, but from all parts of the kingdom'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

The image captures the picturesque scene of the Spa House, a grand and spacious building that has long been a beacon for visitors in search of health and relaxation. Reachable from the town via the Cliff Bridge, built in 1826, the Spa House offers easy access to the mineral waters that have long been renowned for their medicinal properties. The discovery of these healing waters can be traced back to the early 17th century, when a local woman named Mrs. Farrow noticed their potential health benefits. After conducting experiments to confirm their medicinal properties, the waters quickly gained popularity among the residents of Scarborough and beyond. Their reputation soon spread throughout Yorkshire and beyond, earning Scarborough a reputation as a premier health resort, second only to some of the renowned German spas. The mineral waters of Scarborough have long been celebrated for their ability to alleviate various ailments, particularly those affecting the stomach and digestive organs, as well as the kidneys. Combined with the invigorating sea air and delightful sea-bathing, Scarborough has become a beloved destination for health and pleasure seekers from all corners of the kingdom.
