Reeds Rains Yardley Local Area Guide

Yardley's main shopping area is known as the Yew Tree, named after the yew that stood to the south of the roundabout.  There are a variety of small independent shops along with a few more established stores in the area and several charity shops including “Help Harry Help Others" that was set up in honour of the local 11 year old boy, Harry Moseley who raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help ill children. In 2010 a new retail development was opened in Yardley just off the A45 (Swan Island) where there is now a large Tesco Extra and several other stores within the shopping mall including Sports Direct, Specsavers and The Card Factory.

There are a couple of restaurants and two main pubs including a Wetherspoon’s. Yardley boasts two good size local parks and also has a sports and social club which offers outdoor 11-a-side and 5-a-side football pitches.
