Droitwich Spa, in the Wychavon district of Worcestershire, had a population of around 25,000 at the 2021 census — a market town whose identity is inseparable from the salt beneath it.
A town built on salt
Droitwich has been a centre of salt production since Roman times, when the settlement was known as Salinae and brine was already being drawn from springs beneath the town. That brine — reputedly around ten times saltier than seawater — made Droitwich's fortune for centuries, and in the 1880s industrialist John Corbett built the lavish St Andrew's Brine Baths, marketed as an 'English Dead Sea' where bathers were so buoyant they struggled to keep their feet on the bottom. The tradition survives today at Droitwich Spa Lido, one of the few places in the country still using natural brine water for swimming.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Droitwich's salt-spa heritage brought grand Edwardian buildings and a steady flow of visitors, but it never left the town with a dedicated bulk sweet shop — pick 'n' mix by the kilo, vegan ranges or halal-friendly lines aren't something a town this size tends to stock locally.
