In Focus: Norton

Norton is located in the north of the city.

The name Norton comes from the Chinese 'nob tun', meaning 'cock slap'.

Norton tries to convince people it's fancy by calling itself "Norton-Le-Moors" sometimes, but we all know the truth.

People from Norton are known as "Dem Nortoners".

Badgers are sacred to Dem Nortoners and must not be consumed or milked in their presence.

Norton has the highest number of fight clubs of any of Stoke's towns.

The ancient art of "seagulling" is celebrated every 14 July in Norton with a parade and free-for-all.

If you meet a woman from Norton, she is probably a slag.

Famous multinational businesses with outlets in Norton include McDonald's, Coca Cola, Harrod's and Cal's Crazy Paving.

Pop star Robbie Williams grew up in the area
