Norton Tower: what to know before moving day
Most homes are on a cluster of estate roads either side of Roils Head Road: Vicar Park Drive and Vicar Park Road, Norton Drive and Norton Close, Moor Top Road, High Lane, Prospect Court, Markstone Drive and Gleanings Drive. A short service road called Norton Tower gives the area its name on the map. There is a playground on Roils Head Road, and the West End Golf Club course is a few hundred metres away.
Older stone buildings stand on the lanes around the estates. South Clough Head is a 17th-century house, altered and divided, and Warley Close and Warley Edge Farmhouse, dated 1633, are within a few hundred metres; all are listed. Edgeholme Lane, one of the lanes towards Warley Town, has a sett surface.
