The Sunday Quiz ...
Evening all.
Firstly I'd like to say how pleased I am that people have started to move across to the new forum .. I was worried you might all 'blogger' off so to say!
I've been working on the website today but you probably wouldn't notice as it looks exactly the same. The main problem with the site was that I am limited to the number of pictures I can have so I have been very sparing with them. Since I set off on my journey into the world of websites and such I have learnt quite a bit along the way. I've now discovered that I am clued up enough to edit the 'code' of the site and can now link to pictures stored elsewhere online so am in the process of changing all the ones on the site. After that I can start adding photos that I have had to store on the other Thornton Through Time Documents site
Now for the Quiz
The answer to this weeks quiz is ...
The old Station Masters house at Thornton Centre.
In 1st place .. Mike
In 2nd place .. Cyril
In 3rd place .. Andy
In 4th place .. Mike P
Don't forget next weeks quiz will be posted on the forum.

All Change ...
Evening all.
It's all change at Thornton Through Time!
I'm going to take a bit of a break from the blog as life is getting in the way at the moment. In the meantime I've decided to add a forum to the site so that people can post questions, topics or just share history. I think it will work better for the site instead of people having to wait for me to post. I'll be popping in to the forum every day and joining in but it means I don't have to come up with topics twice a week on here (which I haven't been doing much of lately I hear you cry!). It will also mean I can go back to working on the site 'as and when' and remove the guilt of not having something exciting to report twice a week.
I hope you will pop over and join me ... Thornton Through Time Forum
If you want to discuss more up to date Thornton news then pop over to Mike's Thornton Cleveleys Forum where you'll get a friendly welcome.
I'll be posting the answer to this weeks quiz on here and on the forum and next week it will be posted only on the forum. You don't have to join the forum to do the quiz .. you can still look and then email the answer but it would be nice if you did.

Holmes Farm ...
Evening all.
So I was wrong about the building on Fleetwood Rd .. it wasn't a works but indeed a farm. Originally it owned land which is now covered by Sacred Heart School and Church and also Trunnah Gardens. The land for Sacred Heart was compulsary purchased. I don't want to say too much as I hope to add something to the memory section so keep your eyes peeled.
Now for the Quiz ... Where in Thornton Am I ?
And the answer is .. Treasure City (previously The Ashdell)
In 1st place .. Brenda
In 2nd place .. Mike
