What we actually see in Tunbridge Wells
Royal Tunbridge Wells grew up as a spa town around the chalybeate spring and the Pantiles, and most of its residential character was built in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: Decimus Burton developed the Calverley Park estate, the railway arrived from Tonbridge in 1845, and Victorian villas and terraces then spread out from the town centre, followed by Edwardian streets. The period stock has solid (non-cavity) brick walls, high ceilings, bay windows, timber sash windows and suspended timber ground floors over a ventilated void. The town sits on the northern edge of the High Weald sandstone ridge.
Tunbridge Wells is a hard water area. Drinking water here is supplied by South East Water, which states on its own water hardness page that most of the water it supplies in Southern England comes from underground chalk aquifers, that the water is therefore hard, and that this can lead to limescale build-up in kettles, boilers and hot water pipes. Hardness varies by supply zone, so anyone who wants their own figure can check their postcode on South East Water's hardness search.
Period pipework is the recurring theme: imperial pipe sizes, long uninsulated runs through the floor void, open-vented systems with a tank in the loft, and occasionally the remains of a single-pipe loop. Old lead or narrow-bore mains supplies can limit flow and pressure into terraces.
