Hi
I just came across this thread, and thought I'd say hello. My family lived in Norton until we moved to Moore in 1971. We used to live in Primrose Cottages which were halfway between the Station and Yew Tree Farm. I remember Ste and Annie Dixon well. I also remember the beautiful primroses
My dad worked at Eanleywood Farm, and also for Teddy West. We used to wait for the school bus to Halton outside Yew Tree Farm. There was an old bubble car in the top field, and Henry the bull in the one opposite our house. My sister and I used to pick mushrooms in that field while my brother kept a lookout for Henry.
Ste had two dogs, Benny and Silvie. I have painful memories of them knocking me flying one day while they were chasing our dog down the field.
Other people I remember were the Bennett family and their daughter Frances who lived at the station, the Archers who lived at the Smithy, the Shackladys, the Rileys, and my great auntie Nellie (Wilkinson) who lived at a smallholding opposite Norton Lodge.
My dad's family were also from Main Street in Halton village, and we have family graves in the cemetery there.
I'm so pleased to find someone who remembers the 'old' Norton. I've hunted high and low for photos, but although there are loads available of Halton, Norton seems to have been forgotten
