Thornton Cleveleys War Memorial at Four Lane Ends

Thornton Cleveleys War Memorial at Four Lane Ends is opposite Thornton Library and Little Theatre. Join us for a look around, as we approach Remembrance Sunday.

This War Memorial at Four Lane Ends includes three tributes to the fallen. It's a contemplative place, in contrast to the busy modern life of the nearby traffic light junction. But it's where everyone can see it as they pass through the busy crossroads.

A temporary Thornton Cleveleys war memorial was first constructed in 1919 at Woodlands Avenue, Thornton. Then a little later, a permanent war memorial was built at Four Lane Ends Thornton, in 1923. On 11th November 1923 it was officially unveiled. That day was the fifth anniversary of the end of the First World War.

The names of the unfortunate ones who didn't make it back from World War Two are inscribed in the three open-book tablets.

The ICI War Memorial commemorates company employees who died in both of the world wars.
