A Brief History of Thorne
The historic market town of Thorne covers an area of 18.15 square miles with over 16k people living here. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of New Stone Age-era settlements here, showcasing Thorne’s historical significance in the Yorkshire area.
This small town has been populated continuously since the 8th century, serving as a farming and then coal-mining town east of the River Don. Thorne and Moorends combine to become a civil parish, a vibrant community with a variety of attractions, such as the Memorial Park, where the annual Thorne Festival takes place.
In the summer, brass band concerts are held in this bustling town. Every month, local farmers organise a cultivators’ market and there is also a community-funded woodland area that connects the urban centre of Thorne to its wildlife regions.
The 12th-century Church of St. Nicholas and the remnants of the 1,000-year-old Peel Hill motte are some of Thorne’s major landmarks. It’s also referred to as “Little Holland” due to its flat landscape and waterways, which serve as a reminiscence of the Netherlands. However, Thorne isn’t immune to criminal activities.
Even though it’s generally a safe town (crime rate: 104/1,000 persons), Thorne has seen 98 burglaries in a 12-month period (80% of the national average). However, burglaries seem to have increased by over 90% in the last 3 years.
As for vehicle crimes, 117 such instances were reported in the same period, a 34% increase in the last 36 months. That’s why residents of Thorne are investing in robust security measures to protect their properties with the help of Lock & Key Doncaster. Our local locksmiths play a crucial role in enhancing safety by offering various services that can help secure homes.
Our DBS-verified locksmiths based in Thorne can repair or replace outdated locks, securing residents premises against the most common forms of break-ins. In addition, we also excel at installing snap-safe, anti-burglar door locks that resist vandalism. Collaborating with Lock & Key Doncaster is also a great way to get back inside your home if you have locked yourself out of it. Our locksmiths employ non-destructive methods to gain access to your home or business premises.
In addition to lock installations and emergency entry, our team offers free home security surveys, a thorough assessment of your property’s entry points and overall security status. These surveys are an excellent way to identify weak points before they become a problem and offer suggestions to boost your home’s protection.
