Clientele of the 'Dog and Duck', a place of entertainment from 1642-1799 which prospered enough to rival the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, and was also known as St George's Spa 1773-91. Initially a small inn adjacent to ponds where spaniels caught ducks to be served to customers, development ensued with the use of the mineral water from wells.
