Melksham is well-now for the Melksham Spa Company, formed in 1815 by a collection of 'respectable gentlemen', including names such as Methuen, Long and others, all whom had actually benefited substantially from the now decreasing fabric industry. Their vision was to establish a spa, emerging after failed attempts to discover coal suddenly revealed the existence of two springs. The spa consisted of 6 three-storeyed, semi-detached lodging houses forming a crescent, a pump room and hot and cold private baths. At the exact same time, a parliamentary act was passed to 'improve the pleasing town of Melksham' through paving and enhancing footways, together with cleaning, lighting and watching the streets. The ongoing popularity of the waters at Bath, however, impeded the success of the spa project. Melksham is currently the home of a selection of leisure centres and events.
