More about this scene
Now part of a strictly controlled conservation area, this group of shops on the corner of Green Lane and Norton Road blend into the environment. The Standard 8 and the pre-war Morris 8 complement the view, and the youngster on the tricycle reminds us that Norton was still a tranquil backwater. Only the concrete 1930s telephone kiosk seems out of place.

A Selection of Memories from Norton
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Norton
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I do not have a memory of Hitchin or the church, as I live in Canada, but I have a photo of my grandfather and grandmother's grave with a granite cross as a marker.
They lived in Letchworth and my grandfather's name was William Tye, and my grandmother's name was Rosina. They are buried together and I am wondering if they were buried here. They died in 1920-1922 about, I wonder if their grave marker is still standing.
