Mineral Wells, Valley Road, Streatham, c. 1890

This picture, entitled 'Outside the Farm', shows the Well House that still exists on Valley Road in the centre of a new housing complex. |
|
The
mineral wells in Valley Road contributed to
the growth of Streatham Village, which expanded
rapidly once the fame of the medicinal properties
of its spas had spread.
The mineral water was delivered by the Curtis
Brothers Dairy in Valley Road along with the
milk in the early 1900s in delivery carts
of the sort seen in this picture. They were
drawn by men and women - not horses. |
