Date Created23rd June 2019CommentsDorothy Wills My husband thinks this may have been down by Tilly Bells cottage there were a few camps put up there in very early days to go to the springs

Kevin Douglas They were on the other side of the river in the days when the Morris family had the hostel, inside the sheds were some ordinary bath tubs with hot spring water piped to fill them as I recall as a kid, I also remember having to take a bucket down to the river to get cold water to cool the hot spring water before bathing. Thanks

Arthur Bass I thought it would be the origional bath houses on across where the swing bridge was.

Ray Chandler Yes. Plain old bath tubs in those sheds.

Myron Caldwell Why two Vicars then? Blessing the boiling there?

Michael Nottingham That photo would be old. I recall in the 1960's a pub there.

Ray Chandler Yes the Morris sisters had the pub.Their brother was a Reefton coal mine owner his nickname was Blowfly

Ray Chandler When asked how he got the nick name he replied. I surpose it's because I'm all ways fliting here and flitting there.
