Once Jenny and Beatrice Cash had moved out of the cottages, the Robinson family moved in. Wendy’s father William was born on the 12th of November in 1909 to parents James E. Robinson and Elizabeth Ann Robinson (nee Ratcliffe). Grandmother Ratcliffe set up a small tea room in the front room, alongside working as a matron in the Cheadle Royal hospital.

Wendy spoke animatedly about her father William, and recounted that he and her mother Beatrice met twenty-one years later at the Ship Inn in Styal. William came across to me in conversation as an enterprising individual who moved back into the cottage at the age of 24 in order to start his own business. He was working at this time as a gardener in Gatley Hill but began a greenhouse business in the garden to the side of the cottage in 1937. He rented the property out to farmers that would eventually cycle up to work at his greenhouses, selling tomatoes.  His five acres of land soon grew to forty.

Robinson's Nurseries business at Yew Tree Farm still thrives in Heald Green today, spearheaded by Wendy’s nephew who lives there. As both of her brothers inherited the family business, the house at Daisy Bank was passed to Wendy as a form of inheritance in 1977. She also informed me that the house had operated as a bakery at one point in time; the brick oven chimney stack is still preserved to this day.
