Well I was all set to go to the Library this afternoon; list - check, memory stick - check. Rang the Library and they close on a Wednesday afternoon .. I honestly didn't think anyone did that any more.
I've put a now picture in the gallery today for Thornton Village - c1905 but I still don't think I have got the angle right. In the older photo I've realised there is a building between the Gardeners Arms and the camera where the car park is now and it has thrown me out as I tend to line up the chimney pots for the now shot. It doesn't help that Gaskells Cottages went across the entrance to Warren Drive a bit. I have put it on but think I will go back and try again another day.
I've also added a photo of Lawson Lane (now Lawsons Road) .. well technically I added it the other day but forgot to tell anyone.
I'm also looking for information on Thornton Fire Brigade at the mo. I heard a story the other day about someones Grandad who was the local ironmonger and was also the fireman as he was the only one in the Village who had a ladder!

i still can,t understand why fleetwood shuts on a wed afternoon, stuck in tradition i suppose. it,s the same on a sunday where as cleveleys is packed.
ReplyDeletefleetwood shops are always open on tram sunday i wonder why.
I know it's the same with Poulton on a Sunday and that's when I would go to have a wander.
ReplyDeleteI can also never understand why they have Tram Sunday on the same day as Gt Eccleston Show. I would go to both of them if they weren't and the traffic heading to the motorway is horrific.
I close for halfday every day.
