The White Hart was in the centre of the village, it was a former clothier’s house. 


Gloucester Journal, Saturday 29th August 1874 – Dursley Licensing Day: Monday was the annual licensing day. There was a full court, and all the licenses were renewed without complaint. On the application for the renewal of the White Hart, Uley, kept by Mr Edward Adolphus Fisher, a long discussion ensued. Mr Playne, brewer, of Nailsworth (sic), owner of the property, applied to have the license altered from a “six-day” to a “seven-day”, but the bench had some doubt as to their power to make the alteration applied for. The Act gives power to the magistrates to a seven-day to a six-day; but it is silent as to the increase of a six-day to seven-day. A case was referred to in the Justice of the Peace, but nothing definite could be gleaned from it. The case was therefore adjourned to the September sitting, for the purpose of obtaining legal opinion.


Gloucester Citizen, Wednesday 10th September 1884 – Dursley Petty Sessions: Mr Thomas Arkell, of the White Hart, Uley, obtained a temporary transfer to 10th October.


Bristol Times and Mirror, Monday 2nd March 1885 – WHITE HART, ULEY. TO LET: Rent £5, possession at once. Apply personally to George Payne and Sons, Minchinhampton.
