You have it Grandarog, Glad the clues helped.
Over to you
The Chalybeate Spring at Tunbridge Wells
Princess Victoria, later
Queen Victoria
, drank the waters every day during her stay in
Tunbridge Wells
in 1834. She and her mother, the
Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent
, would pay a visit to the spring and then stroll along
the Pantiles
. The water contains a significant level of dissolved mineral salts, with iron and manganese contributing to its characteristic flavour.
The Spire Southampton Private Hospital in Chalybeate Close, Southampton, UK was formerly known as The Chalybeate Hospital until 2007.

if anyone is interested.
Thanks MartinR. Some of my family stayed there in the years before it closed. It was in a sorry state as I recall.

Not a brewery Dave Smith. The building now has another use but not its original use. However, what it was built for is still operational a couple of hundred yards away.

Thanks, Diapason, an interesting one. I've driven past so many times and not really taken notice. Thanks also to Grandarog for the further info.
It looks like the building is in good condition going by this fairly current view on Google.

As far as I`m aware, the chapel is still standing and an attempt is being made to convert it into two houses.
Also that the historic `Father` Willis organ be re-located. if or when it is restored from its appalling condition.
Over to you, John W!

The chapel at the Sea Bathing Hospital, Margate. A lot of the original building has been converted into des-res apartments. I wonder if the chapel has been saved.
