The Norton Inn Erdington

I can only ever remember Horace Stokes as the landlord of the Norton in the early '70's- I am sure he was there in the '60's as I remember him catching me nicking books from a jumble sale in the gardens about then. in the late '70's somebody else took over, but I can't remember his name. Probably a good job you declined the drinks- he might have bought you a couple, then gone out and pinched your motor!
Yes it was Horace Stokes and his wife Mary when I worked there in the 70's, he was a nice bloke, used to be in the military, very smart man.
