More information about Thornton-Cleveleys
Thornton-Cleveleys is a seaside town located in Lancashire, in the North-West of England. It has a population of around 31,000 which has grown rapidly since the 1950s when the finance and car industry stimulated the local economy. The industry has now taken on a different form, but its strong connections to the car and finance industry remain.
History
The ancient parish of Thornton was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 and it has been part of the Wyre Borough since 1974. The town of Thornton-Cleveleys itself was created in 1931 with the merging together of the two municipalities of Thornton and Cleveleys. The name for the new town was chosen in a ballot of residents of both districts, winning out by a large margin over the other contender, which was 'Girlington'.
The car industry in Thornton-Cleveleys
The car industry has been a key factor driving the Thornton-Cleveleys economy for many years, ever since the Ford plant in the town opened back in 1906. This plant was located in the Clifton area and produced both Ford Escorts and Fiestas until its eventual closure in 2002.
However, there are still a number of car-related businesses and firms located in the town. The Cleveleys branch of West Yorkshire-based car dealership Perrys is one of the largest employers in the area, and is one of the only motor dealerships to offer electric vehicles and hybrids in the North-West. Thornton-Cleveleys also hosts a number of car repair and tyre specialists, such as Sunningdale Tyres, as well as a petrol station and 24/7 breakdown services.
