Bleakley Street, Daylesford, Victoria.
Description
'The original spring at this spot was commonly known as Courtot's Pump. Alfred Courtot, a nearby resident at the time of the construction of Lake Daylesford in 1929, made persistent representations to the then Borough Council to save the spring from disappearing under the lake. A pump was installed by 1930 but has a relatively short life - about 10 years.
The name of these sprigs has changed several ties since the 1850s. A land sale plan, made soon after 1854, shows buildings around a 'Boiling Spring'.
This was one of three springs on the east side of Wombat Creek, all having a common source referred to as Leggatt's Springs. (Leggatt's Hotel was nearby).'
