Thornton Cleveleys Football Club is a football club based in Thornton-Cleveleys, England. They are currently members of the North West Counties League Division One North and play at Gamble Road, Thornton-Cleveleys.

The Burn Naze was a public house in the English conurbation of Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire. Built in 1910, when it replaced the former Burn Naze Inn, it was one of the oldest pubs in the area by the time of its closure in 2019, and was listed as a community asset in 2021. It was demolished in 2022. Its name is possibly derived from when the area was known as "Burn" during the time of William the Conqueror. Torentum, today's Thornton, was "estimated to contain six carucates of land fit for the plough, but this computation was exclusive of Rossall and Burn, which were valued at two carucates respectively". "Naze", meanwhile, is "a flat marshy headland". A Burn Naze is mentioned in 1837 by William Thornber, who was on his way to the nearby River Wyre. A 15th-century building known as Burn Hall also existed in the area, with an earlier structure documented back to at least 1345.The pub closed in 2019, having seen its trade decline significantly since the nearby ICI closed in 1992. It was purchased in November 2020 by Manchester-based housing firm Mangrove Estates, which had plans to build a block of 24 apartments at the location. Wyre Borough Council received a planning application to knock down the pub, but the application was rejected after local community group Save the Burn Naze Pub campaigned against the demolition. The developer appealed successfully and resubmitted its plans. The demolition plans were given the green light in October 2021. Demolition started in February 2022.

Burn Naze Halt railway station served Burn Naze in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England, between 1909 and 1970.

Marsh Mill is an 18th-century tower windmill in Thornton, Lancashire, England. It was built in 1794 by Ralph Slater for local landowner Bold Hesketh.

ICI Hillhouse was a chlorine-production facility in Lancashire, England. A division of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), it was active between 1941 and 1992. Its triangular footprint spread from the banks of the River Wyre at Stanah in the east, to Hillylaid Road in the southwest, to the southern edge of Fleetwood in the north. Its entrances were on Hillylaid Road (via the extant gate at the end of today's The Hawthorns) and on Butts Road in Burn Naze. Burn Naze Halt railway station served those arriving by train. ICI Hillhouse expanded on a United Alkali Company venture begun in 1890. 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 in 1958, 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. Water from the Lancaster Canal, beside Nateby Hall bridge, was extracted by ICI Hillhouse via a 25-year lease. Around 6,000 megalitres (1.3 million gallons) of water was obtained. The boreholes the facility previously used resulted in the water turning brackish due to a fault line which runs between Barrow-in-Furness and the Fylde. ICI Hillhouse closed in 1992, after which the Burn Naze area, where most of the workers lived, subsequently suffered a downturn in fortunes. The chlorine plant was demolished in 1994. The power station was demolished in 2007; its chimney followed on 7 November 2009. In 1999, Glasgow-based NPL Estates reached a £50 million agreement with ICI to create new housing, leisure, supermarket and shopping facilities on the Burn Naze portion of the land. Another section became the Hillhouse Enterprise Zone. A plaque beside the Thornton-Cleveleys War Memorial at Four Lane Ends honours ICI Hillhouse workers who served in the first and second World Wars. Poulton & Wyre Railway Society have placed a plaque honouring the wars' soldiers at Burn Naze Halt.
