"Everyone Had a Pig" At a meeting of Thornton le Moor Show Society in January 1999, it was decided to commemorate the new millennium by a series of events and activities throughout the year 2000. Central to this theme was the production of a book, which would reflect on the life and times of the village. Subsequently a group of residents have combined to produce a collection of photographs, facts, stories and thoughts, which together tell the story of Thornton le Moor, a small North Yorkshire village. The history of our village is as deep as it is broad, and we have attempted to present a balanced picture of social, environmental, educational and industrial change. For this reason, certain subjects could not be covered in the depth which some may feel is justified. If there are questions, which remain unanswered, we encourage you to follow in our footsteps and research the resources available. Quite often you will find the journey is as rewarding as the destination. A list of information sources is included at the end of the book for this purpose. After many trials, tests and opinions we have decided to offer the book in Flash Paper format. To read this you will the MacroMedia Flash Player. If the player isn't installer on your computer you will be prompted to download and install when you click on the link below.		Getting your hands on a copy....
