Bandstand, Buxton, Derbyshire. Although the properties of its waters were known as far back as Roman times, the Peak District town of Buxton was first developed as a spa resort by the Dukes of Devonshire in the late 18th century. The town's popularity had a second resurgence about a century later when the Victorians flocked there to enjoy the healing properties of the springs.
