  1. MY MOTHERS GRANDPARENTS LIVED AT 125 HIGH STREET NORTON BEFORE IT BECAME A SHOP. ALFRED JOHN BERRY ( ORIGINALLY FROM PAISLEY SCOTLAND) AND HIS WIFE THEY HAD FOUR DAUGHTERS AND FOUR SONS, WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS A SINGLE DWELLING AT THIS TIME OR NOT I DO NOT KNOW BUT BY 1910 IT WAS 125 AND 125A.

  2. Miss Elizabeth Parrot, Fancy-Goods Shop. Originally a buyer (Glass, China and Ornaments) for M Robinsons of Stockton, Miss Parrot set up in Norton. She was an agent for Clarence-Pottery,Mount-Pleasant and had goods for the Gentry delivered, in straw lined wicker-baskets, by the Imperial Tramway Company to either the shop or, with a helper, to the nearest tram-stop. “Seconds” were sold from the shop only ,these were highly sought after by the village housewife as a Clarence “Second” could contain only a paint line or firing mark error. Info.provided to Norton Heritage from the Elcoate sisters Evelyn & Dorothy died April/August 1998

  3. Tram Posts The stub of a tram-post, with the crest IMPERIAL TRAMWAY 1898 is still in place on road-side outside THE PRIORY, High St Norton Formally the home of Sir Frank Brown one of the Directors of the Company
