About this listen

As seen on Channel 5’s hit shows, Springtime on the Farm, This Week on the Farm and Cannon Hall: A Yorkshire Farm

Packed with fresh anecdotes and astonishing new detail, this emotional journey to the foothills of the Pennines brings the Cannon Hall Farm story bang up to date.

In their own words, the very personal story of the ups and downs of the Nicholson family at Cannon Hall farm spanning almost 70 years.

From the death of Roger’s beloved dad Charlie to the daily struggle for survival amid farming’s rapidly changing landscape, the Nicholsons have weathered storm after storm.

They came perilously close to losing it all as a lifetime of farming tradition seemed to slip through their fingers.

But in a daring last roll of the dice, they bet the farm–and won–creating against all odds one of Britain’s best-loved tourist attractions.

Here, Roger and wife Cynthia, along with their sons Richard, Robert and David, take turns reflecting on some of the dizzy highs and crushing lows that have made them who they are today: champion livestock breeders, TV stars and–above all–devoted farmers.

A thoroughly enjoyable read from start to finish. The Nicholson family’s chronicles over more than 7 decades makes lovely reading, heartwarming, nostalgic, sometimes poignant and sometimes funny stories from all the family. They are the “salt of the earth” and their hard work and determination to sustain Canon Hall Farm and a successful family business shows through this book like a light. From the 1950’s Roger and Cynthia have continued to maintain their Farm and should be proud of themselves and the family they have raised to carry on working together. They have put Barnsley on the map and after reading this book it makes me proud to be from Barnsley myself and know that The Nicholsons are typical Barnsley folk full of Yorkshire grit, humour and friendliness second to done. Read this book you will not be disappointed.

Heartwarming and Nostalgic
