Landmarks
While Thursby still largely remains a commuters village there are still many attractions. There are many interesting buildings in or around the village centre (a useful map can be found at the Noticeboard near the green). Traditional clay – walled buildings are a feature of Thursby, named examples includes Greenwood Cottage on the green and Rosedene Cottage opposite the church on Matty Lonning. Examples of the larger Georgian farms still exist at Holly lodge and West House in the village centre. The more dated 17the century farmhouse at Evening Hill has elements of clay structures with outward buildings and a cart entrance found when entering South out of the village towards Curthwate. A little further on is the Tudor – styled Evening Hill house built in 1833, with twisted candlestick chimneystacks.

Famous quotes containing the word landmarks:
“The lives of happy people are dense with their own doings—crowded, active, thick.... But the sorrowing are nomads, on a plain with few landmarks and no boundaries; sorrow’s horizons are vague and its demands are few.”
—Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
“Of all the bewildering things about a new country, the absence of human landmarks is one of the most depressing and disheartening.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
