Tons of old Brum photos By D J Norton

7 October 2008
By Jon Bounds

"D J Norton – Dennis John Norton – was my father. Born in Birmingham in 1930, he suffered ill health throughout his life. He died from an asthma attack at the age of 35 in Ledbury, Herefordshire where my family had moved hoping that a country location may help alleviate the symptoms of his illness… We have several hundred black and white photo's from the 1950's and 1960's that he took and developed himself. We also have several hundred full colour slides, also from the 1950's and 1960's… The ones that captured my imagination were of Birmingham prior to and during the development of the inner ring road."
