Norbury, Greater Manchester

Norbury was formerly a civil parish in Cheshire, England, covering the southern parts of the village of Hazel Grove. The parish was abolished in 1900 to become part of Hazel Grove and Bramhall, which was in turn abolished in 1974 to become part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in Greater Manchester. The name Norbury is no longer in widespread usage for the area, although the Church of England ecclesiastical parish covering Hazel Grove is still officially called 'St Thomas, Norbury'. The Norbury name is also used for a primary school (Norbury Hall), a stream (Norbury Brook), and the 1960s Norbury Moor housing estate on the southern side of Hazel Grove.
