Raikes Farmhouse is an historic building in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. Replacing a building dating from at least 1595, the current structure was built in 1692, with a rear extension added in the 19th century. It has been designated a Grade II listed building by Historic England. The property is located on Raikes Road, just southeast of its junction (a roundabout) with Stanah Road and Hillylaid Road. The property was renovated sometime between 2011 and 2019, a process that removed its pebbledashing. In 2014, a planning application was made to demolish three barns and erect six dwellings on the property, but the application was later withdrawn.

Brook Farm in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England, was built in 1892. At that time, it was one of the only properties in the area on what was then its farmland. Its earliest known reference (erroneously named Brooks Farm Cottages) in literature is in the 1918 edition of The London Gazette in 1918. In the 1915 edition of The Dairy periodical, a Mrs. S. A. Keirby is stated as owning a dairy farm here.Originally a standalone building, two bays wide, it was extended to the west in the mid–20th century, adding two properties. Several hundred houses were built on and around its former farmland in the late 20th century, on land abutting the former site of Imperial Chemical Industries which is known to be contaminated.

Thornton–Cleveleys (originally simply named Cleveleys) was a railway station in England which served the Lancashire village of Thornton and town of Cleveleys. Located on the now disused line between Poulton-le-Fylde and Fleetwood, the station also had a shunting yard for the making-up of freight trains for Preston and beyond. During its life it was also known at times as Thornton station and Thornton for Cleveleys station. In the 1860s and early 1870s the line was of great importance, being the direct route from London to Glasgow. Before the Shap route was opened, passengers (allegedly including Queen Victoria) would travel from Euston to Fleetwood and then onwards via steamer to Scotland. The original station was opened in April 1865, and was named Cleveleys. It was to the south of Station Road in Thornton, near an older halt called Ramper Road. The Station Master's house and station building can still be seen in use as a private residence. The station was renamed Thornton for Cleveleys on 1 April 1905. This station closed in 1927 when the new station (the first to be built by the LMS) opened to the north of the level crossing. In February 1953, the station was renamed again, this time to Thornton–Cleveleys. Rationalised in the 1950s and 1960s, and affected by the ending of the ferry from Fleetwood to the Isle of Man, the station eventually closed on 1 June 1970, when the Fleetwood line was closed to passengers. Freight continued on the line to nearby Burn Naze until 1999.

Ashley Hall (also known as Ashley House) is a three-storey mansion in the Skippool area of Thornton, Lancashire, England. Set in around 12 acres (4.9 ha) and built in the Roaring Twenties, it was, for many years, the home for several celebrities who were appearing in Blackpool's summer shows. These include Danny La Rue, Joe Longthorne and Dorothy Squires.Also in its grounds are two two-bedroom cottages (known as "The Housekeepers Cottage" and "The Gardeners Cottage"), a stable block and a Dutch barn. An annexe extension was built around 1980.Built by T. B. Silcock, the property was owned by hotelier Len Rawcliffe from the 1970s until his death in 2021. It remains in the Rawcliffe family, but in 2022 it was put on the market for £3.75 million. Prior to that, it was owned by Mr and Mrs Percy Hawtin, who permitted the public to tour the grounds.Ashley Hall stood across Skippool Road from another mansion, Illawalla, which was demolished in 1996.

Thornton is a village in the Borough of Wyre, about 4 miles (6 km) north of Blackpool and 2 miles (3 km) south of Fleetwood. The civil parish of Thornton became an urban district in 1900, and was renamed Thornton-Cleveleys in 1927. In 2011 the Thornton built-up area sub division had a population of 18,941.

Illawalla was an Edwardian single-story building in the Skippool area of Thornton, Lancashire, England. Built in 1902, it was demolished in 1996, after lying derelict for six years, to make way for three exclusive homes. Its name is preserved in the name of the road on which these houses now stand (The Illawalla) and also in the name of the adjacent cricket club (Thornton Cleveleys Cricket Club Illawalla), whose grounds partly occupy the land Illawalla stood on. Illawalla in Aboriginal Australian means the house of plenty. It is believed Frederick J. Emery, one of the early owners of the property, gave it this name to reflect his spell as a government official in Australia.

Skippool is an area of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. It is situated between Little Thornton and Poulton-le-Fylde along the western banks of the River Wyre, about three miles south of its mouth between Fleetwood and Knott End. These banks are known as Skippool Creek, an historic docks area now home to mostly run-down vessels. The MV Good Hope, for example, may date from the 1830s. Skippool Creek is a short branch off Main Dyke, which empties into the River Wyre in front of Blackpool and Fleetwood Yacht Club. The B5412 (Skippool Road) passes through Skippool, ending at the roundabout it shares with Mains Lane, Breck Road and Amounderness Way. Skippool is believed to be a joining of the Old Norse word skip, which means ship, and the Old English pull/pol, for a slow-moving stream. It has been written on historical maps as Skippon, Skiffe-Pool and Skip Pool.
