Clifford Longthorn

Clifford Longthorn is the husband of Peggy Longthorn as well as the father of Andy and Carol Longthorn. Clifford was a tenant farmer who lived in Beckindale. The Longthorns were good friends of the Sugdens, and Clifford's father often helped with the stock at Emmerdale Farm when Jacob Sugden was drinking at The Woolpack. In August 1986, due to financial worries, Clifford vacated his farmhouse, after being evicted by NY Estates. Him and his family were offered a job at an NY Estates establishment in Lincoln and the Longthorns left the village.
