ICI Hillhouse

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.

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.

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.

Stanah Primary School (formerly Stanah County Primary School and Stanah Community Primary School) is an English mixed primary school located in the Stanah area of Thornton, Lancashire. Built in the 1960s, the school, located on Lambs Road (or, as it is known locally, Lambs Hill), has around 400 pupils, aged 4 to 11. Its head teacher is H. M. Clough. He replaced Ian Todd who, after three-and-a-half years as head, took up a position at the University of Cumbria in January 2010. Mr. Todd's predecessor was Tony Ford, who retired in the summer of 2006 after twelve years in the role. One of the earlier and long-serving head teachers was Jean Fisher. Another was Mr. Evans, who was headmaster in the 1970s. The school comprises two separate prefabricated buildings. A smaller annex (infants) is attended by the foundation class and years 1 and 2. For year 3, the children move into the larger main building (juniors). The smaller building was mothballed in the early 1980s when school rolls dropped, but it was renovated and reopened around a decade later. The infants building also houses a preschool nursery originally called Stanah Sunflowers but which was then bought and renamed to Oak Tree Nursery. On the junior's building stands the school's distinctive chimney.

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.

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.

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.
