As someone born in Tunbridge Wells, I'd spell it "Tonbridge". But that's because
Tunbridge became Tonbridge in 1870.--[[User:NashJc|NashJc]] 17:25, 21 March 2010 (EDT)

**A TRIP TO TUNBRIDGE**\\
In 1606 Lord North found that a sample of water from a spring in
Kent contained iron and other minerals thought to be valuable for
health restoration. ‘Thus the Spa of Tunbridge Wells was born. Tre
ing of Bath" Beau Nash, presided over its social activities
occasionally in the early eighteenth century, and being only thirty-one
miles south of London, Tunbridge was so often visited by royalty that
in 1909 it was granted the prefix "Royal" to its name.
