Hi so my Grandfather John Norton owned the business until it ceased at some point in the mid 70s. He died in 1976. Likely to be as a result of the business having to move due to the new road and then not being as successful in Perry Barr. It certainly put a lot of stress on the family. Hope that...
Hi. My grandfather used to own Nortons the department store on Key Hill in Hockley. I wondered if anyone had any old pictures of it they would be happy to share? Many thanks
