Ecological data from thermal waters is limited in the UK however an Irish Survey  has been undertaken which looks at both flora and fauna associated with thermal and warm waters.

A survey of thermophillic cyanobacteria identified abundant growths of Phormidium ambiguum GOM which formed conophyton like pinnacles up to 40 cm high in the still water.

During periods where the well floods, water flows out onto the park forming a shallow pond area adjacent to the well building.
Algae flourishes in the overflow water which stand stationary exposed to light and oxygen, of which there is little in the thermal waters inside the well building.
Filamentous algae Melosira variants and Spirogyra have both been identified  and are very abundant in the flooded pool area outside of the well building.
