He regularly attended Littledean Hill Chapel Sunday School where he soon developed an aptitude for public speaking. Later he established a number of Friendly Societies for the miners, and acted as chairman of a Cinderford Ratepayers’ and Voters’ Committee. This led to the formation of a Miner’s Union and Timothy’s appointment as its first agent.
