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.
The Norton Bridge rail crash occurred on 16 October 2003. An intermodal train hauled by two Freightliner Class 86 locomotives collided with another stationary freight train, after passing a red signal. The cabs of the leading locomotive were badly damaged but the driver escaped with only minor injuries, although he had to be cut from the wreckage by the fire brigade.
