Cannon Hall Farm: Past, Present & Future
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.

David Murray – Mettle: Tragedy, Courage and Titles
THE UNTOLD, INSIDE STORY OF MY LIFE AT RANGERS FC AND IN BUSINESS
Sir David Murray’s life story is a truly remarkable tale of never-say-die triumph over unimaginable adversity.
For 50 years he has been a towering figure in Scottish business, sport and philanthropy. His family name is synonymous with steel but his rise to power owes as much to mettle as it does to metal.
At the age of 24 he was involved in a horrific car crash in which he lost both of his legs. As his life hung in the balance, his days in hospital, drifting in and out of consciousness, were nightmare moments but ones that would define him.
And in the aftermath, when he finally pulled through, he had stark choices to make. ‘I could fight or I could give up,’ he said. ‘Turn left or turn right.’ David Murray almost always chose wisely and has never once shied away from big decisions. This is a man who thrived on the big stage, as the owner of Rangers Football Club during an unprecedented era of success. He won nine league titles in a row, oversaw some memorable European campaigns, all while rubbing shoulders with the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Graeme Souness and Sir Sean Connery.
He led the talks on the Old Firm clubs joining the English football pyramid, while his sale of the club to Craig Whyte set off a chain of events that eventually saw the club liquidated.
Now, for the first time, and in his own words, he is offering a deeply personal insight into his extraordinary life and how he courageously recovered from his accident and then went on to become such a successful entrepreneur.
He also gives us his thoughts on the Old Firm rivalry, explains why Celtic Park wasn’t the most hostile ground in Scotland for Rangers to visit… and describes how he beat world champion Stephen Hendry at snooker!
