Training in Leamington Spa

Today, one of our instructors is providing training on customer premises in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

The town of Leamington Spa, originally known as Leamington Priors was a tiny village until about 1800.

The value of the mineral springs was known in the middle ages, but it was not until 1784 that the small village began rediscovering its saline springs and started building baths around some of them.

In July 1814 ‘The Royal Pump Room and Baths’, designed and built by C.S. Smith of Warwick at a cost of £30,000, were officially opened.  The Spa treatment was claimed to cure or relieve a huge number of disorders, examples being ‘stiffness of tendons’, ‘rigidity of the joints’, ‘the effects of gout and rheumatism and various paralytic conditions’.

Royal Leamington Spa is right on the doorstep of Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon, historic Warwick and Kenilworth, Coventry and Birmingham.
