Emmanuel Jackson was born at Bideber Mill, Westhouse, in 1912. When Manny was four the Jacksons moved to Hardacre, near Clapham. The family’s possessions were loaded onto a horse and cart and one of Manny’s earliest memories was the grouse and tewitts being noisily disturbed as the horse crossed Burnmoor. There was no road to Hardacre until Manny’s father, a builder and farmer, installed one.
