The 1905 study of Thornton Village with the man in the middle of the road and the little girl on the left shows the windmill and the millers cottages which were latter demolished, together with the drying kiln, the later being listed in the tithe commutation schedules, 1838.		Thornton Village in 1905
The Gardeners Arms Public House Thornton-Cleveleys		The new Gardeners Arms, Thornton, opened by proprietor James Blackhurst in 1900. Described as "one of the handsomest hotels in one of the prettiest districts in the Fylde...entirely rebuilt", an orchard, loverly pleasure garden, stabling and dinners and tea were offered. At different periods written as both Gardners and Gardeners, both seem apt, bearing in mind that other innkeepers of that surname lived in the Fylde and it was a food growing area.
