Visitors at Sulphur Springs, Ancaster Ancaster 1880
Ancaster Sulphur Springs (reversed image). Located near Sulphur Springs Road (across the road) is the spring that fed the Sulphur Springs Hotel's mineral spa in the 1800s.
The waters were considered to have curative properties and hence the Hotel was a popular summer destination.
The Hotel closed in 1910 due to two fires. The stone structure was recently rebuilt.
