Hello there! I am from whittle and have only registered with this site because as I googled 'the top lock pub whittle-le-woods' to see if I could find the pub menu your post showed up!!! I'm not 100% sure but I seem to remember being told that the water in whittle springs was thought to be healing water years ago and people with ailments used to travel from all over to bathe in it that maybe why its called 'new springs' I will speak with my mum about it and get back to you with any other info x
