Our village in the past
The following 25 photographs recently came to light when two village calendars (1999 & 2000) were discovered in a filing cabinet, which had been locked for many years (no keys) at the Community centre. The calendars were produced by Iris and John Gleeson as part of their fund raising efforts for the Community Centre.
The photographs have been scanned, cropped and enhanced to produce the following images.
Do you have any images of Thornton in a bygone age? Or have any interesting facts about the village and its history then please email me (Gill Tapping) on thorntonvillage@aol.com
