Construction of this estate had started in or before 2008
Image and presumably stalled during the recession that started around that time. As of 2015 these houses were complete but others were still in construction.

Septic tank, Rowlands Close, Thornton
This new estate
Image is below the main road and therefore its sewer. The green cabinet presumably contains electrical equipment, so my guess is these are holding tanks from which sewage is intermittently pumped up to the main sewer.

Overgrown railway bridge abutment
There would have been a bridge here carrying the railway over the footpath from Thornton Road to Alderscholes Lane. The present cycle route occupies only part of the width of the original trackbed, which at this point just west of Thornton station would have carried sidings as well as running lines.

Trolleybus approaching Thornton terminus – 1972
The large building on the left is the Albion woollen mill, now demolished and with open fields in its place. By contrast, the open land in the foreground, together with the area of tipping, has been transformed into a new housing estate. This view https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1067128 was taken from roughly where the trolleybus is passing, looking towards the camera.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
