    Tips

    In the 1730s, the tree-lined spa promenade with colonnades was created next to the spring, which is now called The pantiles. The term comes from the original pavement of the area in 1700 with square clay tiles, the pantiles. Chalybeate Spring is the name of the iron-bearing spring discovered in 1606 by Dudley, Lord North, a nobleman. The Bathhouse was built in 1804 directly behind the source of the mayor's wife to enjoy steam and shower baths. Theater / Corn Exchange (grain exchange) was built in 1802. In the past, the border between Kent and Sussex ran exactly between the stage and the auditorium. From 1843 the building was used as a grain exchange. The statue of the harvesting goddess Ceres above the main entrance recalls it. In the former inn Royal Victoria Queen Victoria has often stayed.

      Beautiful historic market place with coffee shops. Check out the spring at the north end of the pantiles where people used to 'take the waters'

        You will have to go a little off this route to see this. Interesting
