Dist:0.3km<br/>The name suggests the presence of such a tree, or an indication that perry, a drink like cider, only made from pears instead of apples, was for sale.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Not much to be seen of Whitley from the B3353 to Corsham, it doesn't flaunt itself like Atworth and Shaw, most of it is tucked discreetly away, but it is very pleasant, even the modern housing.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A K6 type telephone box in the Purlpit area of Whitley. In 1935, the Post Office commissioned a new kiosk from Sir Giles Gilbert Scott to celebrate the Jubilee of King George V. The K6 Jubilee Kiosk, as it is known, was similar to the K2 box, being made of cast iron and painted red but was 25% lighter in weight. By the end of the 1930s there were 20,000 K6 telephone boxes in use all over the UK.

Dist:0.7km<br/>A view looking east towards Whitley. The tall pole at left is a sewer ventilation pipe and appears to have lost the ornamented top that these things normally have.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The footpath crosses the field towards another part of the village.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The road to Beanacre dips as it crosses a minor tributary of the Avon. The verge on the right has been trimmed.

Dist:0.8km<br/>A very useful and obviously much used facility half way between Shaw and Whitley. Probably appreciated by people from Atworth as well. Most banks seem to be going over to plastic nowadays.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The track leads to the local sewage works then on to Whitley Farm. This does not accord with OS Explorer 156 but can be confirmed in Google Earth.
