[3]: 32–33 The Swan public house run by Ansells Brewery was, for a time, the largest in Great Britain with eight bars and a total drinking area of almost 14,000 square feet serving over 1,000 customers.

The ancient parish of Yardley included the areas known as Stechford and Hall Green.

Now dry, it has retained its depth and shape remarkably well considering its age, as excavations have shown evidence of inhabitation from as early as the 12th century.

Most of the land, had by then, been purchased by other people so Taylor owned only a small portion of the original grounds.

These are Yardley, Blakesley Hall, Lyndon Green, Oasis Academy Hobmoor and St. Bernedettes.
