Hi, I was born in Little Thornton in 1931. My grandmother was TB Silcocks cook and my Grandfather his joiner. TB bought Thornton Hall Farm on Woodhouse from the Braid Family, and Lodge Farm (Corner of Woodhouse & Lambs Rd) in 1926 from my Grandfathers family. I was born in the Old Lodge FarmHouse (on Hornbys Corner) I remember he was a rich man having several business's in Liverpool, Cattle Food etc., incidentally he also owned the Bone Mill on the river bank. |
Austin 7 which he used to drive locally. He was a Gentleman never moved a worker out of a Tied cottage when they ceased work he would hire someone else and build a new house, he knew everyone a true Gent.

An old one.
