Oak at Kingshill (3) - outbuilding, 2 Kingshill Road, Dursley, Glos

This outbuilding is to be found in the car park of the Oak at Kingshill public house and restaurant. At a guess, and that is all it can be, it might just be an icehouse. Before refrigerators were invented, icehouses were built to store ice and insulating materials. Often the main purpose was to store foods or to keep drinks cool.

New Inn (2) - WCA brewery plaque, 82-84 Woodmancote Road, Dursley, Glos

The New Inn is one of many pubs in Gloucestershire that at one time sold West Country Ales, and still retains the WCA ceramic plaque. This brand eventually became part of the Whitbread empire, and around 1967 they discontinued the provision of these plaques. The one at the New Inn is immediately to the left of the main entrance.

Boundary Marker, Uley Bury

On the South flank one level down from the enclosed part of the opidum (Hill Fort). One of four along the edge of the escarpment. see Link & Link & Link the Bury is a Scheduled Monument HE listed - Nᴼ. 1004866 Link

Inscription: SP (see below) The 1838 tithe apportionment records nearly 80 acres of land in Uley, including land on the side of the Bury with the markers, was owned by Harry Keighly Peach (then a minor). It is possible that SP stands for Samuel Peach, who inherited land in Uley in 1776, or his son, Samuel, who inherited in 1791 (Bigland’s Monumental Inscriptions, which adds that “it was a small estate and now subdivided”), and that Harry’s land was previously theirs.
