VISITORS took a trip back in time yesterday at a popular tourist attraction.
The Tees Cottage Pumping Station, on the outskirts of Darlington, opened to the public to offer a rare glimpse of Victorian engineering. The waterworks, which began supplying water to the town in 1849, has two original pumping engines displayed in full working order on four weekends each year.
Engines on show are housed in their own buildings and are maintained by volunteer members of the Tees Cottage Pumping Station Preservation Society.
