Britain's What's On Event Guide
Industrial Spittal and Spa Resort - Guided Walk
Heritage Open Day: Spittal was a place of contrasts in the past - a spa and beach resort but also highly industrial with chemical works and a bacon factory. Join this walk to find out more about these elements of Spittal's past and see what evidence remains. In the 19th century people came to Spittal on holiday and to take the waters from its chaylbeate well. It continued to be a popular holiday resort until the 1960s. However, it also had another side. There were various industries here in the past, many of them concentrated at Spittal Point but also in other parts of the village. This walk will highlight remnants of this past which are still visible and build up a picture of the past.
