The Aylesford Well basin is one of the few items we have from the early days of the spa. It is only by chance that it survived. Local man Pavel Hodac noticed the basin sitting on top of the rubble pile when the Aylesford well house was demolished in 1960. He asked the demolition workers what would happen to it, and when told it would be discarded, he asked to have it. He took it home in his wheelbarrow. The basin stayed in the Hodac family for over 50 years, even going with them when they moved to Norfolk!
