Dursley. The Domesday Book of 1086 names the town of Dersilege It was an agricultural settlement until the weaving of woollen cloth became common, firstly in cottages still recognisable by their large upstairs windows, when in mills powered by water. In the late c18th weaving declined and many mills were adapted to engineering purposes which are still important to the town. This place was funded by Dursley Town Council and Stroud District Council to make the millennium 2000AD.
