History of Timperley
Timperley was historically a small Cheshire agricultural township known for market gardening supplying Manchester. The opening of the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway in 1849 transformed Timperley into a commuter village. The area developed rapidly during the interwar period with large semi-detached houses built for Manchester professionals. The historic Timperley estate's grounds were built over in the suburban expansion of the 1920s and 1930s.
Understanding the history and character of Timperley helps explain why the housing stock here may be well suited for double glazing installations. These properties may present good opportunities for double glazing upgrades across the Altrincham area.
