Supposedly there was a highwayman called 'Timperley Tom' who used to ride what is now called Manchester rd(A56). Although his name was not Tom and he was not from Timperleyhis nickname was 'Timperley Tom' because he used to drink in a pub on the A56now called 'The Pelican.' Eventually the customs caught up with him at 'The Pelican' and in a shootout he was wounded. He was taken to the gaols at sheffieldwhere hewas hanged. His Ghost is still supposed to haunt 'The Pelican.'
