Thornton

Thornton (together with its neighbouring town of Cleveleys, known as Thornton-Cleveleys) is a town on the Fylde, in Lancashire, England, about four miles north of Blackpool and two miles south of Fleetwood.

It is in the borough of Wyre. The two towns are linked by Victoria Road. Thornton was also formerly the principal intermediate stop on the Fleetwood branch of the LMS/British Rail London Midland Region railway, running from Poulton-le-Fylde, but it has been years since the station was used.
