Burn Naze is a residential area of Thornton-Cleveleys, in the Borough of Wyre, Lancashire, England. It is located about 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Blackpool and 2 miles (3 km) southeast of Fleetwood. Cleveleys is about 1.3 miles (2.1 km) to the west, while the River Wyre is about 0.8 miles (1.3 km) to the east. Over the course of its history, the Burn Naze name has been used in a railway station and a public house. The area became heavily populated after ICI Hillhouse, a chlorine-production facility, was built on part of its land in 1941, expanding on a United Alkali Company venture begun in the 1890s. ICI General Chemical Divisions purchased the assets of Hillhouse and Burn Hall Works from the Ministry of Supply. A power plant was built on today's Bourne Way, providing ICI with electricity and steam power. A railway line—part of the Fleetwood branch line—was built to connect Burn Naze to Poulton-le-Fylde and beyond. The line still exists today, although the sidings at Burn Naze were removed after all freight traffic ceased in 1999. ICI Hillhouse closed in 1992, and the area subsequently suffered a downturn in fortunes.

Norcross Roundabout is a major traffic roundabout in the English village of Thornton, Lancashire. It was built at the junction of the A585, the B5268 Fleetwood Road South and Norcross Lane. As of 2020, an average of 28,000 vehicles utilise the roundabout each day.The roundabout separates Thornton, to the north and northeast, from an area known as Norcross, beyond the roundabout to the southwest, and from Carleton to the south and southeast. It is part of a section of the A585 called Amounderness Way. It is one of five roundabouts on Amounderness Way, the others being (from the southeast to the northwest): the Victoria Road Roundabout, between Thornton and Cleveleys; and three in Fleetwood, shortly before the road's northern terminus. The one to the east of Norcross Roundabout, known as the River Wyre Roundabout, was removed in 2021.A major revamp of the roundabout, undertaken between July 2019 and April 2020, was described by motorists after its completion as "total hell", with a lack of signage cited as the main reason. Despite this, Carnell, the contractors who carried out the project, were shortlisted for Team of the Year at the national Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation Awards. The project increased the size of the roundabout, including widening its approaches, as well as adding traffic lights. The project cost £12.3 million, funded by a national £220 million congestion relief programme.Also in 2020, a study by Reach Data Unit named Norcross Roundabout the second-most-dangerous roundabout in Lancashire, after the A589 roundabout in Morecambe.
