Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yardley is an area in east Birmingham, England. It is also a council constituency, managed by its own district committee. Birmingham Yardley is a constituency and its Member of Parliament is John Hemming. Yardley''s main shopping area is known as Yew Tree, named after the yew that stood, originally to the south of the roundabout, outside what was then Boots, then on the roundabout at the junction in the centre of Yardley. It was damaged during work to the roundabout, and as a result was removed. It was later replaced by another tree located in the centre of the island. Yardley once had a local pub owned by the brewery company Bass, called The Yew Tree. It was run by the Williams family who had lived there for over 20 years. It was shut down in June 2000 after being stripped of its liquor license and told by police that it was a magnet for crime. It was subsequently subject to two arson attacks. One of the fires caused an adjacent road, Stoney Lane, to be closed to traffic for one day. The pub was later demolished and replaced by a Co-op supermarket and new restaurants. A new Yew Tree pub has now opened within the premises.
