Background
History
The name Timperley derives from Timber Leah, the Anglo-Saxon (Old English) for a "clearing in the forest"; this can be used to roughly date the settlement of Timperley to between the 7th and 8th centuries. It was a predominantly agricultural settlement before the Industrial Revolution, focusing mainly on arable crops. The Bridgewater Canal branch from Stretford to Runcorn was built through Timperley and opened in 1776. This improvement in transport encouraged the development of market gardening in the area to serve the growing city of Manchester. The city also provided a source of night soil, which was unloaded from the canal by Deansgate Lane to provide manure for farms and market gardens.
