Yarnfield
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yarnfield is a village in Staffordshire, England. It is considered part of historic Stone, and is near to other historic locations such as Eccleshall and Swynnerton.
It is the site of a very large training and conference centre managed by BT. The site originally named Beatty Hall was one of a number accommodation camps in the area serving the very large second world war Cold Meece munitions factory. Most still exist in various guises - Raleigh Hall is now an industrial estate, Drake Hall is a prison, Nelson Hall is now a housing estate having housed vitnamese refugees in the 70's.
Its only real claim to fame is that it was the subject of one of the largest group ASBOs ever granted[1].
