Buildings Overview

The buildings we see in Timsbury reflect different periods of expansion. This table shows the number of dwellings found in Timsbury at different dates.

Before 1784 Timsbury was a small rural settlement. In the 19th century there was significant expansion that resulted from the development of coal mining. In the second half of the 20th century further expansion resulted from Timsbury becoming a commuter village.

There are several buildings still to be seen that date from the 18th century and the core of the village represents much of the development that took place in the 19th century. Further information about how to research the history of a building can be found here.
