Green glass bottle with crown cap containing Braceborough Spa water, English, 1905-1940
Braceborough, a village in Lincolnshire, was once renowned for its mineral spring waters. The site drew crowds of visitors in the 1700s seeking to ‘take the waters’ in the hope of a cure from all manner of ailments, particularly skin disorders. Like many British spas, it went on to spawn a thriving mineral water industry. The label on this bottle proclaims the calcium and magnesium rich water can be used to treat a range of conditions ranging from psoriasis and acne to rheumatism and gout.
