Thornhill Place in Sockburn – First appears in street directories in 1991.
A tiny amount of information from the library website. I assume that because this street runs off Racecourse Rd that there is a horse racing reason for the name but couldn’t find any information to confirm this. There was a horse called Thornhill but it wasn’t born until 2002. There is Thornhill Stables in the UK and there was a Thomas Thornhill who was possibly connected to horse racing. Most the houses here were built in 1990s with a couple built in 1980s. Mostly brick houses that were nice and tidy but nothing stood out for me
