Description: The Old River Tees The old course of the River Tees is still well defined as it does a large meander around what is now Teesside Retail Park. As can be seen the beck is tidal and must have been a lot wider back then. It was cut off good and proper when the river was straightened with the digging of the Old Cut in the nineteenth century. The cut was only 220 yards but it saved the sailing vessels negotiating the large hoop around Mandale Bottoms.
