Barnstaple claims to be the oldest borough in the United Kingdom. The settlement dates back to pre-Saxon times, and is of probable Roman origin. Centuries of building and rebuilding has created a hodge-podge of buildings in the town center, with the majority of the old buildings from the 19th century.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
