IIOVINGHAM. 209 



near Yearsley moor, through Easingwolcl, Alne, 

 and over the river Ure at Aldwork ferry, to Aid- 

 borough. There are two villages called Barton- 

 on-the-street, and Appleton-on-the-street, in this 

 road, but of which road few traces now remain. 



Mineral Springe. About a mile from the village, 

 and passing through the grounds, and some of the 

 scenery already described, we arrive at a field of 

 marshy ground, in which, and at no great distance 

 from each other, occur three several springs of to- 

 tally dissimilar character. The first, sulphureous, 

 resembling the waters of Harrogate ; the second, 

 chalybeate, similar to those ofScarbro'; the third, 

 beautifully clear spring water. The last which is 

 remarkable for its extreme coldness, has been 

 formed into a bath, in a secluded spot, surrounded 

 with trees; and the first, which has performed 

 several cures, particularly in scorbutic cases, has 

 also been provided by the liberality of Miss Wor- 

 sley, with another bath ; but being in an exposed 

 situation, a small room for the convenience of dress* 

 ing, is still a desideratum. 



This water which is considered equal in strength 

 to either those of Cr<*ft, or Middleton, is conveyed 

 by pipes into two small basins, ( for the conveni- 

 ence of those who drink the waters,) from whence 

 it runs to the bath ; the spring itself being enclos- 

 ed for greater security, by substantial covering of 

 stone-work.
