Category:Royal Spa

The Royal Spa in Queen's Park was situated directly between the two Queens Park gates, and attracted many well-off visitors to the park.

Eventually the expensive spa went out of fashion, and the site continued as a bottling plant. After this closed, the site became somewhat derelict, and was demolished and turned into a school, with just the park-facing facade preserved.
