Modern mineral water factory.


A mineral water factory stood on Chapel Bay in the late 19th century, postdating the First Edition Ordnance Survey of 1868. It was operated variously by the Rushen Mineral Water Company and Samuel Watterson. The buildings were latterly known as the 'pop houses' before being demolished in the 1920s. It would seem likely that the adjacent spring (PRN 0025.30) was used as a water supply.
