Newton-with-Scales
Newton-with-Scales is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Newton-with-Clifton, in the Fylde district, in the county of Lancashire, England. It is situated on the A583 road, 5 miles (8 km) from Preston and 11 miles (18 km) from Blackpool. It has a park situated on School Lane, a Marston's pub called the Bell and Bottle, a primary school called Newton Bluecoats, a shop called the convenience store which also has a Post Office.
Formerly the village was two hamlets: Scales on the main road from Preston to Kirkham, and Newton on a loop to the south. The name Newton is from Old English, meaning "new farm" or "new village"; Scales is from a word of Scandinavian origin meaning "hut".
Newton was mentioned in the Domesday Book as a member of the fee of Earl Tostig. By 1212 it had become part of the barony of Penwortham. In the 16th century both Newton and Scales were referred to as manors. Newton Bluecoat school was established in 1707 by John Hornby for boys and girls up to the age of 14 years; it is now a primary school. It was rebuilt in 1864, and replaced by a new building in 1969.
Formerly a rural community, it has expanded with many new houses built since the 1940s. Since World War II, Springfields nuclear fuel production site and British Aerospace at Warton Aerodrome have been major employers in the area, and also by the 1980s many residents worked in Preston, Blackpool and other towns in the region.
