The History of C R Jacklin & Son at Beacon Hill Farm, Grainthorpe

This book was written and compiled for the use of family, friends and acquaintances that I have encountered over the years.  However, as the book gets closer to printing I have decided to make it available to anyone who has an interest in local and social history over the last one hundred years.

Indeed anyone who wishes to follow the direction of farming and especially small family farming since 1960s.

I hope whatever your interest you will find some parts of the book entertaining.
