Thornton–Cleveleys railway station

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.

Norcross Roundabout
Norcross Roundabout

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.
