"Records of Woodhall Spa and Neighbourhood" by J. Conway Walter is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a compilation of local history, anecdotes, physiographical insights, and archaeological notes about Woodhall Spa and its surroundings. The text seeks to preserve a record of the area’s transformation, its medicinal springs, and the people who shaped its past. At the start of the book, the author introduces the premise of documenting the history of Woodhall Spa, emphasizing the need to collect personal reminiscences and historical notes that may otherwise be forgotten. He reflects on the journey of the medicinal waters' discovery in the early 19th century, detailing John Parkinson's failed coal mine endeavors and the subsequent realization of the well's healing properties. The narrative continues to unravel historical insights into the development of Woodhall Spa as a health resort, setting the stage for the exploration of its various attributes and historical significance.
