Timperley history
The name Timperley derives from Timber Leah, the Anglo-Saxon (Old English) for a “clearing in the forest” The name can be used to roughly date the settlement to between the 7th and 8th centuries. The Bridgewater Canal branch from Stretford to Runcorn opened in 1776. It encouraged the development of market gardening in the area to serve the growing city of Manchester.
Railways
Timperley curve was built in 1879 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. The arrival of the railways brought the middle classes from the centre of Manchester. In 1931, the MSJAR line was electrified, one of the first railway lines in Great Britain to use supply by overhead cables.
