A Beautiful Thornton Day ...

Evening All. It was a red sky this morning so was expecting it to be a less than perfect day but it has been glorious. We went to the Nature Reserve behind the tip with the dog which was really nice but the smell was a bit ripe. Well worth a visit if you are of the dog walking fraternity.

I've been contacted by a gentleman whose family farmed at Holmes Farm in Thornton who may have some old photos to send me. I hope he can dig them up as they would be great for the site. Going off subject does anybody know the name of the building which stands right opposite the entrance to Holmes Rd on Fleetwood Rd? I think its empty at the mo but looks like it might have been a farm or more likely some kind of work place ie. a wood yard or similar. Its shown on the 1892 map and a building is shown there on the 1841 map to but isn't the same footprint. It also has a well. It intrigues me so I hope you can help.
