Arthur South

Politician from Norfolk, England

Sir Arthur South (29 October 1914 – 28 January 2003) was a prominent Norfolk politician and administrator in the 1970s.

Having been Norwich City Council's youngest councillor, South led the Council for 18 years and was Lord Mayor of Norwich for 1956-1957.[1]

He will be "remembered by football fans as a forthright chairman and high-profile ambassador of Norwich City Football Club (1973-1985)."[1] It was in recognition of this that South was made an inaugural inductee of the Norwich City Hall of Fame. The South Stand at Carrow Road is named in South's honour.[2] The Sir Arthur South Lounge, located within the River End stand of Carrow Road is also named in his honour.[3]

The Arthur South Day Procedure Unit at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital is also named in South's honour.
