I've also added a picture of John Croft who held some of the first Methodist meetings in Thornton in his kitchen. He apparently lived in The Little Cottage on Fleetwood Rd opposite the junction with Trunnah Rd. Thanks to Mike P for giving permission to use the photo.
Apologies for the short post tonight but I was at a party yesterday and am feeling a bit worse for wear.
