+Most of all, The New Wells Epsom was a collection of shops and gathering venues based around a well which catered the much sought Epsom Waters and Epsom Salts to the high society of the 17th century.\\
+The 'Medicinal Waters of Epsom' in the 17th century made it the first spa town in England, and gave rise to Epsom Salts (hydrated magnesium sulphate) as a curative. The popularity of the waters is attributed to Lord North, who in 1637 was the first to have told the English court of the use of Tonbridge and Epsom waters for health and cure, adding that it was a lot cheaper than travelling to a spa on the Continent.
