From Skinningrove Hall to Moonfleet (via Timm’s Coffee House)

  • Description

    "One of Skinningrove’s oldest buildings is a three-storey property that backs onto The Square. Built in 1704 as Skinningrove Hall, it’s been a public house for many years with the (unique?) name of Timm’s Coffee House. It acquired that name after Mr A L Maynard, an owner of the Hall during the 19th century, had visited London where coffee houses were popular at the time. Mr Maynard was to have a key role in the development of mining in the local valley as he discovered an outcrop of ironstone on his land in 1848...."
