Relative to the town's average road size, the shortest street is accordingly referred to as 'Short Street', which is located at the top of Melksham Forest. Melksham is well-now for the Melksham Spa Company, formed in 1815 by a collection of 'respectable gentlemen', featuring names such as Methuen, Long and others, all whom had benefited significantly from the now decreasing fabric market. Their vision was to develop a spa, emerging after failed efforts to locate coal suddenly exposed the existence of 2 springs. The spa included 6 three-storeyed, semi-detached lodging houses forming a crescent, a pump room and cold and hot personal baths. At the exact same time, a parliamentary act was passed to 'improve the pleasing town of Melksham' through paving and enhancing footways, as well as cleansing, lighting and watching the streets. The ongoing appeal of the waters at Bath, however, impeded the success of the spa project. Melksham is currently the home of a wide array of leisure centres and events.
