By [[1953]], the London branch was influential enough that London [[police]] feared its involvement when investigating the strange occurrences provoked by the activities of an alien entity known as [[the Wire]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Idiot's Lantern (TV story)|The Idiot's Lantern]]'') Torchwood One agent [[Lizbeth Hayhoe]] had ordered for the Wire's victims to be kept in cages.

At one point on the 1950s, Norton came under suspicion by Torchwood One's leader, [[the Vicar]], for dealings with gangsters and was allowed to summon an assessor to clear his name, choosing to bring [[Andy Davidson]] back in time. Norton manipulated events to trick gangster [[Fat Kim]] into taking control of an [[Martian tripod|alien war machine]] whilst the Vicar led Torchwood against her. In the ensuing confrontation Andy killed Kim by passing on the key to the machine to her mind and the Vicar was killed when the disabled war machine fell on him. This eliminated the only two people aware of Norton's criminal dealings and left a vacancy at the head of Torchwood One. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Goodbye Piccadilly (audio story)|Goodbye Piccadilly]]'') [[Reginald Rigsby]] became the new director of Torchwood One.

During the 1950s, [[Adam Smith]] took over Torchwood One using his memory manipulation abilities and rallied the organisation for war against the approaching [[Kernaz]] fleet, which was actually seeking him. Norton, who had been tricked into allowing Adam into Torchwood in the first place, and Lizbeth eventually worked out what had happened, despite numerous setbacks as Adam kept altering their memories. They disabled Torchwood's weapons on the day the Kernaz arrived, preventing war and allowing the Kernaz to send Adam into [[the Void]].
