Memories of The Yew Tree c1965, Yardley
Yew Tree And Stoney Lane
I lived in Stoney Lane with my parents between about 1959 and 1968. In 1961 I started at Hobmoor Primary School on Hobmoor Road. I was under 5 years old and terrified of the thought of going to school. To get to school from our house we had to pass the front of the Yew Tree pub (pictured) and in a desperate attempt to avoid the dreaded first day I grabbed hold of one of the concrete bollards and wouldn't let go! My Mom was so embarrassed! In the end I let go and subsequently went to Hobmoor School until 1968, when I went up to Big School, Waverley Grammar further along Hobmoor Road.
At Hobmoor Primary School I remember the fearsome Mrs Wilcox and Mr Brooks and the wonderful Mr Hughes. Mr Drew was the headmaster at that time, he was a good man too.

Bakeman House And Our Experience - Dec 2006
We (Myself and my Wife) lived there for a months time in Dec 2006. It was a greatful and romantic experience... The excellent view towards the coventry road, unusual sun light during the late afternoon and the buses and vehicles through the coventry road gave us a great feel. The lovely chillness and the cold through the window would create an amazing feeling. The streetlights and the Car headlights would make us feel lonely as the nights appear to steal us. Never ever forgettable moments was shared by us with this lovely and lively NO 4, Bakeman House.
