Norton Bridge is a village in Staffordshire, England. Until 2004 it was served by Norton Bridge railway station.
Arguably Norton Bridge is a hamlet as it is in the Parish of Chebsey and does not have its own church.
Local amenities
At present, Norton Bridge is lacking amenities for residents. There is a children's park which consists of four swings and a small (mostly vandalised) climbing frame. In addition to the park there is a phone box operated by British Telecom, which is scheduled to close soon and no longer accepts coins, and a postbox. However, Norton Bridge's only public house, "The Railway Inn" has recently re-opened.

Famous quotes containing the words norton and/or bridge:
“The question has been asked, “What is a woman?” A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices. You cannot even simply become a mother anymore. You must choose motherhood. Will you choose change? Can you become its vanguard?”
—Eleanor Holmes Norton (b. 1937)
“Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
