I have just discovered that great great great grandad John Stephenson kept the Turf Hotel at Grandstand near the Newcastle racecourse and was a farmer of a couple of hundred acres as well!
I can find nothing about this hotel apart from a few directory entries in the 1880s. Is there anyone who has heard of this place or knows anything about it. given it was so close to the Newcastle upon Tyne racecourse?
