A new set of Lab caches appeared in Ilkley, all to do with Ilkley being sort of a Spa town – it was fashionable for a time in the Victorian era to come to Ilkley and ‘take the waters’ and several big hotels or ‘Hydros’ were built.
Notable visitors to Ilkley for this included Charles Darwin

Caches No’s 5597 to 5634 – London Calling – Part II
We had ambled along from Westminster to St Katharines Docks on the North side of the river, now Kerry and I had limited time so we split form the rest and carried on a little faster, first doing the caches around St Katherine’s Docks and then crossing Tower Bridge to return to Westminster doing the caches along the South bank of the river
