More about this scene
This view looks down the hill into the village. The Old Crown Inn and the adjoining cottages are faced by the Georgian houses on the other side of the green. The church of St Giles, with its north tower and unusual octagonal spirelet, was rebuilt between 1857- 8 by S S Teulon, and overlooks the Uley valley.

A Selection of Memories from Uley
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Uley
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I remember the houses being built in Raglan Way, during the 1950s.
With some friends I recall that we walked along the soil pipes, which had been laid at the bottom of trenches, probably that morning. We obviously broke the cement joints, as when we looked into the trenches the following day, "blue" coloured water was everywhere!
That was a bit naughty on our part and of course the drains had to be re-laid.
When I spent my holidays in Uley during the mid 1950s, open drains ran at the edge of the street, for dirty water (not sewage) draining from the houses adjoining the road! I recall the Post Office, Mr Phillp's grocery store (by the bus stop) and Bruton's Garage, at the junction with South Street. Ken Cook
With a borrowed rod, I caught my first fish in Stouts Hill Pond. The fish took my hook quite deeply and after dis-gorging the hook, we assumed that the fish was dead and my friend Reg Thomas took the fish home to Dursley to feed it to the family cat! On arriving home, Reg discovered that the fish was still alive and while it swam around in a fish tank for a few days, it did eventually die. Sad. Ken Cook
My great gran lived in Woodstock Cottage which was built by her husband. Her name was Emily Eliza Baker and she married a Albert John Tilley. They had 2 children, Edith Mary (my gran) and Daisy Helen. Edith married a Thomas Charles Yeomans and Daisy married a Samuel Workman. I am very interested in my family tree which goes back to 1752.
