The 1930s map shows a "mineral water works" on the opposite side of the road, now the site of the car park for Plascrug Leisure Centre. The 1849 "A topographical dictionary of Wales" mentions that "A chalybeate spring, which is in great estimation for the medicinal property of its waters, was discovered about the year 1779, at a short distance from the eastern extremity of the town, on the road to Llanbadarn-Vawr, and near Plâs Crûg: the well is covered with a small square building, from one side of which the water issues by a spout. There are various other springs in the neighbourhood having a ferruginous impregnation ..." Is this the same source? For a close up of the stone at the base of the spring, see Image
