Tees Cottage has long been redundant as regards the water supply for Darlington and surrounding area, a much newer and larger complex is just across the road. However, Tees Cottage has been preserved and is open to visitors on five or six weekends every year. This shows one of two parallel filter beds created in 1849, this one being slightly narrower than its neighbour due to Coniscliffe Road being widened at a later date.
