Cole Hall Farm. Solihull Sanitary Authority, which covered Yardley parish, laid a sewer down the valley of Yardley Brook from Yardley church to Colehall. The farmland was bought by the Authority for use as sewage filter beds and the house itself was used as offices. The sewer was later extended by the Birmingham, Tame & Rea District Drainage Board to connect with Minworth Main.

By the mid-20th century the sewage farm was out of use, the tanks were infilled and the area was landscaped in the 1970s. A row of poplar trees planted as a screen probably at the end of the 19th century is still a significant landmark. The farm buildings were subsequently disused and in danger of dereliction until they were converted into The Poacher's Pocket public house which opened in 1984. After some years empty, the building is now a children's nursery. Both the farmhouse and its 18th century barn are Grade II Listed.
