Thornton Antiquarian Archive present their annual exhibition at Thornton Community Centre. Dive through the history books and discover the tales of Thornton’s past. This comprehensive exhibition explores Thornton’s heritage, from memories of trolley busses to textile heritage and cottage industries. Speak to local historians, look at maps, books and photographs which detail life in the village from centuries ago. Hear about Arthur Bryant – the maggot king and why Thornton has some unusual place names such as ‘Spite & Malice’ & ‘Worlds End’. Thornton Antiquarians Society is a volunteer run archive based at South Square Centre in Thornton. Weekly talks take place at Thornton Community Centre. New members welcome.
