This is one of 3 surviving wells which fed The Croft Spa. A Victorian spring water spa. The two other surviving wells are The Old Spa and The Sweet Well. Croft Spa had its own railway station and at the Spa you could bathe in and drink the water but it was closed and demolished in the 1950s. However all water sources remain and you can still go and source sulphurous water from the Canny Well and Old Spa and you can get clear water from The Sweet Well.
This well is off a public path, accessible through a field and also accessible by going through The Canny Well Beck (wellies needed). This is in CROFT-ON-TEES just a few miles outside of DARLINGTON
Here’s a photo of me visiting the well in 2020 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcsYfAm3Bag
