Beulah Spa
Burton laid out the landscape and designed the buildings at the Beulah Spa, a spa and pleasure gardens in Croydon, for the entrepreneur John Davidson Smith. It opened in 1831. and became a popular society venue attracting large crowds to its fêtes. Burton's buildings were in a " rustic" style, with the ticket office in the form of a thatched cottage. The spa closed in 1856 soon after the opening nearby of the Crystal Palace. Burton also drew up designs for a grand crescent of terraced houses on the hill above the spa, which was, however, never built.
