Norton On Tees, Pond And Village Green c.1955

More about this scene
Hardly any changes have occurred here; the custodians of Norton's past are determined to protect it for future generations. Norton was lucky in that it escaped the worst ravages of industry. There was a tannery on the Green, and a glue factory, but agriculture was always the mainstay of the village. A legend is still told here about the hound of Blakestone. By accident he was supposed to have led a pack of hounds to their deaths over the edge of a quarry, and the ghost is said to reappear to stop a similar accident happening again.
