Below a quote from Bill Dargue's site which mentions the House when describing the Yew Tree. The site of the House is where the Hob Moor School was built :
......... commercial centre of Yardley lies at the Yew Tree on the Outer Ring Road around the junction of Church Road and Stoney Lane. In the 19th century Yardley House stood here on a very large plot on Hob Moor Road and was owned by the Flavell family. The site is that of the present Hob Moor School.
In 1919 the family sold the immediate grounds and the house itself to the M&B brewery who built a handsome public house, The Yew Tree, on the corner between Hob Moor Road and Stoney Lane, a busy local route from the earliest times.
The Yew Tree pub was demolished in 2000.
