Thornton (with its neighbouring town of Cleveleys, together known as Thornton-Cleveleys) is a town on the Fylde coast of Lancashire, England, about 4 miles north of Blackpool and 2 miles south of Fleetwood. The two towns are linked by Victoria Road. Thornton was also formerly the principal intermediate stop on the Fleetwood branch of the LMS/BR NW region railway, running from Poulton-le-Fylde. However it has now been years since the station has been used, and with the recent fencing over of the level crossing in Victoria Road East in order to prevent youths from congregating on the tracks, the glory days of Thornton are long since gone.

Marsh Mill, a large well-preserved windmill, built in 1794, is a prominent landmark. It was commissioned by Bold Hesketh, uncle of Peter Hesketh (later Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood) who would go on to play a prominent role in the expansion of Fleetwood. Tragedy struck in May 1930, when a Miss Alice Baldwin and a Mrs Mary Jane Bailey visited the windmill with an interest in purchasing it. However when both women stepped onto the fantail platform, the platform collapsed and the women fell to their deaths.
