Has anybody heard anything about the weird planes last night ?
I've had an enquiry about the old gym at Burn Naze. It used to be pub known as the 'Knife and Dagger' (really invites you in doesn't it !) but was that it's real name or just what the locals called it. It isn't on the 1901 census and first appears on the 1912 map but with no name attached. Anybody any ideas?
The answer to the quiz was ... behind Seniors Chippy
In 1st place: Mike
(only correct guesser this week)
Don't forget it is Thornton Farmer's Market tomorrow folks

Where Senior's Chippy?
ReplyDeleteIts on the carpark at Marsh Mill (Fleetwood Road end) .. prefer the one at Thornton Centre myself. Who ever decided to put chips into styrofoam containers wants shooting - I hate sweaty fish !
ReplyDeletewith you on the chippy thing Melanie, there large fish are huge. Thornton centre, there are just a few of us still calling it that, i remember when it was known as thornton station.
ReplyDeleteThought it was Royles Brook but did'nt know were, had a look down New Rd, nothing matched .Re, Stanah Hill farm house,Big modern extension going on the back, dont know if it will disqualify from the old buildings list,
ReplyDeleteOf little or no interest,My daughter owns Oakdene farm shop, Pork products ( Good Food Gold award best bacon ) used to have a stall on there but her husband died and now unable to be leave the shop
ReplyDeleteI'm glad nobody slagged off the chippy in 'the village' as we always called it...or Thornton Centre, as everyone appears to be calling it now. My sister works there. You can miss her...little with specs. She'll be very pleased it's got the thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteHi Fisher
ReplyDeleteAm sorry to hear about you daughter and welcome to the blog
Hi Brian
ReplyDeleteIs your sister the more mature lady who used to work in the chippy before it was made over .. if it is she knows me.
Very probably. Mind you, everyone's mature by comparison to me. She's only very short...about two foot six I think, with dark curly hair. (It runs in the family.) And she's called Janet. That last bit of information might help identify her. She's worked there a good long time now, I know that.
ReplyDeleteOo now there's 2 now I come to think about it. Will have to go name badge checking.
ReplyDeleteHi History hunter,absent mindedly put an old name in the profile,Sorry,
ReplyDeletewhere can i find photos of thornton gala 1963 to 1965. can anyone help me please
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteIf you are local then Fleetwood and Blackpool Library have microfiche and film copies of the evening gazette which always covers the gala well. If you are not local then you can contact the gazette through their website www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk
There is a great site called www.rossallbeach.co.uk which has old postcards and pictures which might have something. Or you could ask on the Thornton Cleveleys Forum in the links on here. There are some people with good photos on there.
Hope this helps
