Dist:0.2km<br/>In the 19th century, Askern began to be developed as a spa – this lake was one of its attractions – then in the early 20th century coal was discovered beneath the village and its history took a very different turn.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Askern used to be a mining town. It also had a coking Plant. I think in days gone it was called Askern Spa.
