Cockle Hall is an historic location in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. Located in today's Wyre Estuary Country Park, it is the location of one of the earliest crossings of the River Wyre, and was used as such until the 1930s.[1] It is also the former site of a two-storey cottage occupied by the Lawrenson family of thirteen. It is located a short distance along a footpath running along the western banks of the river. The ferryman who took people to and brought people from Wardleys Creek,[2] on the eastern side of the river, also lived there.[3]
In the late 19th century, the Fleetwood Estate Company purchased the cottage from Peter Hesketh, a descendent of Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood. The cottage appears on the Ordnance Survey maps from the 1840s.
