Tilly’s Lane is named after a 19th century barber. Tilly's House is half way along, on the right, and is now a cafe. With the redevelopment on the High Street and the building of Two Rivers Shopping Centre, Tilly's Lane was widened and the house was preserved by taking it down brick by brick and rebuilding it where it now sits. Excavations here, at the time, revealed Romano-British settlement established in the second half of the 1st century AD, soon after the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD.
