Views of The Vale. Episode 5. Exploring the Village of Uffington in The Vale of White Horse.

In the 1086 Domesday Survey Uffington was in one of the most populous and prosperous parts of Berkshire, had good arable and pasture lands, woods and a plentiful water supply. The surpluses the area generated enabled it to forge valuable, influential and enduring links with English royalty for several hundred years.
The Great Western Railway line from London to Bristol opened in 1841. Uffington Station was about a mile north east of Uffington and in 1864 the station became a junction when a branch to the town of Faringdon opened.
Uffington station closed in 1964.

A most enjoyable and informative video. You've probably unwittingly put the village firmly on the tourist map!

Thank you for this great contribution about The Vale‘s history: So interresting, so precisely collected and shared information, I‘m extremely fond of your work!
I had the chance to visit Pendon Museum 2 weeks ago and it‘s still like a dream in my memory. Next time I‘m sure to visit all the locations in The Vale of the White Horse as well!

Thank you for sharing this treasure of information on the history of The Vale. The village of Uffington seems a peaceful and nice place to live and happily most of the old buildings kept their 'caractère'. A most enjoyable and fine produced video! Cheers, Filip

[@PendonMuseumVideos]

Thank you for your comment Filip. We are really pleased you are enjoying our videos.

Great little film but the picture of Uffington station that is dated 1930 can't have been taken then as the steam loco is carrying a BR smokebox plate

[@PendonMuseumVideos]

Andy, many thanks for your positive comment and for spotting our film makers little mistake in choosing the wrong photo! Thankfully it is the correct Station....
Well spotted. Do please keep watching.
