Economy
Thackley Corner and a section of Leeds Road to the west are home to most of the village's shops, pubs and eateries. There are three public houses in Thackley - The Commercial, The Great Northern and The Shoulder of Mutton. Many of the properties in the north of the village are historic farm buildings and some have specialised in horseriding.

Famous quotes containing the word economy:
“War. Fighting. Men ... every man in the whole realm is in the army.... Every man in uniform ... An economy entirely geared to war ... but there is not much war ... hardly any fighting ... yet every man a soldier from birth till death ... Men ... all men for fighting ... but no war, no wars to fight ... what is it, what does it mean?””
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“The counting-room maxims liberally expounded are laws of the Universe. The merchant’s economy is a coarse symbol of the soul’s economy. It is, to spend for power, and not for pleasure.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
