More about this scene
Not every visitor was impressed by the elegance of Cheltenham Spa. William Cobbett described the town in 'Rural Rides' as 'a nasty ill-looking place', full of “East India plunderers, West Indian floggers, English tax-gorgers… gluttons, drunkards and debauchers of all descriptions, female as well as male'. It was certainly true that fashionable resorts did attract the disreputable in this way.
