Relative to the town’s average road size, the quickest street is accordingly referred to as ‘Short Street’, which is located at the top of Melksham Forest. Melksham is well-now for the Melksham Spa Company, formed in 1815 by a collection of ‘respectable gentlemen’, including names such as Methuen, Long and others, all whom had profited substantially from the now declining fabric industry. Their vision was to develop a spa, emerging after failed efforts to locate coal suddenly exposed the existence of 2 springs. The spa incorporated six three-storeyed, semi-detached accommodation houses forming a crescent, a pump room and hot and cold personal baths. Simultaneously, a parliamentary act was passed to ‘improve the pleasing town of Melksham’ through paving and improving footways, as well as cleansing, lighting and watching the streets. The ongoing appeal of the waters at Bath, however, impeded the success of the spa venture. Melksham is currently the home of a wide range of leisure centres and events.
