Thank you to Wendi Friend for providing these lovely photos of Beatrice Powers who lived in Spring Bottom Cottage before it was demolished. Photos believed to date from 1973 when the council asked her if she needed anything and she asked for a warm duvet! Beatrice had a wonderful cottage garden in which she grew all her own food - though was known to accept a few slices of meat from her neighbours' roasts as a treat.

This page was originally set up to preserve the ancient spring in Spring Bottom, Charlton Kings as it had been damaged and attempts were being made to divert its flow. Thanks to the strength of support for this local treasure, those early aims were achieved and nature has done wonders in reclaiming the area, helped also by some new planting. We will obviously continue to keep watch over the Spring, but for now, the page will change its focus slightly to recording the heritage of Spring Bottom and the Spring's history - including the wonderful Miss Powers who lived in Spring Bottom Cottage for so many years, using the Spring as her water source as the cottage was 'off grid' long before it was fashionable!
