Community Business Evening

Tonight me and Debbie were invited to attend a Community Business Evening hosted by the town mayor Carol Bowyer, it was a meet and greet with wine and nibbles, it was interesting and pleasant to meet other businesses.

At the Flower Festival

May 2010

At St Edmunds Flower Festival, the Civic Society had pictures of Hunstanton Past and Present, they had a picture of Jacksons, with the same shop in 1970, when it was Easters Electrical Shop, which must have been just before Wheelers took it over, i would think.

Hunstanton from 1983

In 1983, Jackson’s moved to it’s present location in Hunstanton, Norfolk, as it was felt we had outgrown the King’s Lynn shop. The business continued to thrive.



The business was still run by Mavis and Ken and other members of the family and in 1984 they were joined by Susanne.


In 1997 Jacksons celebrated it's Golden and Silver Anniversary in one year.

50 years in Business, 25 of them in Norfolk.

In 1998, after 40 yrs in the business without having a full weeks holiday, Mavis and Ken decided to retire. Their daughters Dawn (Me) and Debbie then took over the business.

On March 30th 2004 Susanne Celebrated 20 years working at Jacksons.
