About

Norton is a residential district located in the southeast of Stoke-on-Trent. The area is primarily composed of housing estates, with a mix of property types from different periods.

Local amenities are focused along Leek Road, which serves as a main thoroughfare connecting the area to the city centre and other towns.

The residential streets are generally quiet, with several community-focused facilities like schools and churches serving the neighbourhood. The area offers practical living with straightforward connections, while the nearby presence of the Caldon Canal offers a specific route for walking and cycling away from the main roads.
