Source of earliest mention: 1870: Yorkshire Past and Present by Thomas Baines
Notes:Tankersley Park was ‘once famous for its yew trees of enormous age and growth’. This description appears in Yorkshire, Past and Present by Thomas Baines, and deals with the period up to 1870. It would seem that they were destroyed as a result of industrialisation, since Baines goes on to say ‘Tankersley Park has suffered more than other sylvan retreats in the transformation of the district; for beds of coal and ironstone, and the chimneys of furnaces, are its close neighbours’.
