The Adventures of Timothy Pilgrim was a children's television serial consisting of ten 15-minute installments which originally aired in 1975 on Canada's TVOntario and was rerun countless times afterward over the next decade on TVO as well as on other Canadian educational channels and PBS.
Both characters face challenges in their respective times - Timothy is an orphan who squats in an abandoned warehouse and makes a living shining shoes and doing odd jobs at a neighbourhood diner owned by Wilma.
However, he is stuck on the land of a hostile property owner as a wagon wheel needs repairing and his horse has either run off or been stolen.
The show's 1970s scenes were filmed in Toronto's west end on King Street and in abandoned factories and warehouses in and around what is now Liberty Village.
The 19th century scenes were shot in Kleinburg, Westfield Heritage Village in Rockton, Ontario and at the Helliwell House of Todmorden Mills in Toronto.
