Having a discussion with my wife this afternoon about Saturday jobs (perhaps this could go on that thread) and the Yew Tree cropped up. I searched the forum for photos and/or maps and found nothing about the pub. Does anyone have any pictures and is the pub still open or is it one of our many lost pubs?
 
I'm sure there must be photos of the Yew Tree on the forum somewhere, but just in case here are a couple. The Yew Tree was demolished and rebuilt I think it went with the same name for a while, but it seems it has now been changed to the Clumsy Swan. it doesn't have the same ring to it does it, The Clumsy Swan Island as opposed to the Yew Tree Island.

Here is a photograph of this grand building. Well, grand in its day. I imagined it was about 1930 but the Yew Tree Inn was built on fresh soil and opened in 1926. This photograph was taken not long after the pub was trading :
