Links:        Contributors: Jan Yew   (Taxus baccata) is the most poisonous tree in the British Isles and even small amounts are fatal. Yew trees grow especially well on chalk. They resist pollution well and can flourish in the shade of taller trees, but little will grow in the shade they themselves cast. The bark is poisonous and so is the cut or dropped foliage. The scarlet berries are harmless, but the seeds are poisonous.

Links:        Contributors: Jan Yorkshire Coach Horse   Originated in the East Riding of Yorkshire. For many years, it was indistinguishable from the Cleveland Bay, but for over 150 years had a separate existence. In 1790 the Yorkshire Coach Horse emerged, as the demand for a bigger and more flashy type increased, due to the great number of elegant vehicles appearing in the fashionable parts of London, and for this purpose the Thoroughbred was used on the Cleveland Bay. At varying times, an infusion of Arab and Barb blood was used on the Yorkshire cart mares. During the middle and latter part of the 19th Century, the demand for this horse was enormous. In latter years, it owed much of its improvement to the introduction of big Hackney blood. Standing about 16.2hh; the body is long on comparatively short legs, giving the horse the appearance of being close to the ground. The girth is deep, and the feet are somewhat big and broad. The predominating colour is bay or brown. The whole appearance still gives an indication of the Cleveland Bay ancestry.
