On Tuesday 2 February at 12:30 a group of ex Yew Tree School pupils – some in their 80s – will be recovering a stone coat of arms that was once inset in the wall of the original building. It has been lying on the site since the school was pulled down in 2002/3. The ‘stone’ is being recovered for restoration and a new location found. I run a web page for ex pupils and currently researching and writing a history of the old school. The old Yew Tree school site is now home to Northenden Campus on Sale Road, Northern Moor. We will be photographing the recovery.
We would be interested in doing a follow-up to this. Please email me at wythenshawereporter@wythenshawereporter.com with details and pictures if you have them.
