More than 400 years ago, a natural spring was discovered by Lord North, this lead to the town becoming a fashionable spa resort, attracting many visitors wishing to take the waters. In 1909, King Edward V11, son of Queen Victoria, granted the town the Royal prefix, partly in recognition of his mother's love of the town. Today, Royal Tunbridge Wells still attracts many visitors. The roads chosen for this project are generally located in the popular conservation areas, the businesses are mainly independents.
