l WHITBY Civic Society is opening up the Victorian Spa in Broomfield Terrace to visitors on Sunday.

It will mark the end of the national Civic Society Week as the Whitby branch will bring this forgotten piece of history into the public eye.

Now in the care of Scarborough Borough Council and the civic society, the spa was built in 1870.

The 8ft high building houses an elegant art nouveau interior lined with white glazed brickwork.

The spa water was delivered via a swan-headed porcelain handled handpump of brass and copper.

A stenciled pew-like seat, curved to fit into the wall was provided for drinkers.

The Victorians had a dream the Whitby well boasted waters almost equal to Tunbridge Wells, then regarded as the finest in the country.

However, it failed to attract the visitors having to compete with Scarborough, Harrogate and Bath during their heyday.

It is the last remaining spa in Whitby.

The civic society will be opening the spa to the public from 10am to 2pm on Sunday free of charge.
