Tees Cottage Beam Engine Gas Engine Pumping Station
Ойын-сауық
In 1849 Tees Cottage Pumping Station revolutionised the water supply to Darlington by offering cleaner, piped water to homes and businesses which had previously relied on contaminated ground wells, polluted rivers, and rainwater tubs. In 1851, recognising the health benefits of a clean water supply, the customer base was extended to also supply Stockton, Middlesbrough and Yarm.
Tees Cottage has Lancashire Boilers dating from 1902, a 1904, steam-powered, Beam Engine and a 1914 Gas Engine, all in operation and still pumping water from the River Tees (although no longer supplying the town’s water!).

Great tour video! really enjoyed it. Wonderful to see the beam engine and Lancashire boiler still operating. The miniature trains were good too. I've noticed there's always some dam thing in water related videos - see 44:40 ish. 8^) .Thanks for sharing the video! Cheers.

Hi Andy & family& friends What an amazing victorian pumping house, marvel of engineering back in the day. Darlington was the place to live in victorian times if you didnt want to die ftom cholera! Great to see kids interested in old engineering too! Of course i love the minature train. Kudos to everyone who keeps this place up & running. ❤❤❤❤😊👍

Hello Carol :) It certainly is an important part of the fight against cholera. The staff were amazing and the time and effort really shows for them. There is a members section extra for tees cottage which I will share at the weekend. :)
Brilliant video Andy. What an amazing place. Industrial engineering at its finest. Must have a trip there sometime. The missus is really interested as well 👍😃

Glad you enjoyed it Nick. It sure is an amazing experience. Check their website for the days they are open as I’m not sure when the next open day is.
That looks amazing I am sure my son will be fascinated. Hope you get to go to Fort Paull when it opens the boys would love it

I hope so too! We narrowly missed for Paull before it closed down last time
❤️❤️❤️
I would have a thousand questions...like why are the machines so big; do the parts wear out often; how do they change out the old parts? Yeah. Thanks for this. I've always heard how impresssive the Victorian machines are.

Good question! They had a maintenance team and a large workshops. The engineers there looked to be well acquainted with long hours keeping things moving. I bet it was amazing to see when it was fully operational.
Fred Dibnah would be proud 🚂
