History Of The Spa - Sitting just outside the town of Melksham, The Spa was an initiative of the local gentry in the early 19th Century to create a fashionable new destination to rival Bath. The Chalybeate Spring had been discovered in 1770 and with the discovery of a second, saline, source in the early 1800s several purpose built buildings were created. Melksham Spa however couldn't compete with the warm waters of Bath or the new fashion of sea bathing and the Spa soon failed and the houses became private residences and in one case a school.
