Description

As a spa town and a very popular recreational destination for 400 years, Tunbridge Wells has figured in many novels, poems, diaries, letters and travelogues. From John Evelyn and Richard Cobb, people who either lived in the town or more commonly visited it for 'the season' wrote their impressions and experiences. Well-known authors such William Makepeace Thackerary and HG Wells, set parts of their novels in the town. This compilation includes the descriptions and the views of 34 of these residents and visitors to Tunbridge Wells.
