Hide AdFar from declining when inland Spa towns became less popular, Leamington flourished.
From the splendour of the Spa and the Grand Balls to the excitement of its steeplechases, lawn tennis and archery, the town thrived.
Our Victorian predecessors, Dr Jephson, Dr Hitchman, Alderman Bright, the Flavels and William De Normanville, made a lasting impact on the town.
Through sheer innovation, energy and adaptability, Leamington’s landscape, public health, housing, sports and industry were transformed into the town we know today.
