Dursley, Market town in Stroud District, England

Dursley stands at 150 meters above sea level in Gloucestershire, positioned between Bristol and Gloucester, near the northeast section of Stinchcombe Hill.

The town received its borough status in 1471, maintaining this designation until 1886, while serving as an administrative center for registration purposes from 1837 to 1851.

The parish church of St James the Great, constructed in the 13th century, represents Tudor-era architecture and contains a bell tower that underwent reconstruction in 1699.

The town center includes multiple supermarkets, independent shops, monthly farmers markets, and the Cam and Dursley railway station connecting to main transportation routes.

The Lister engine company, established in 1867, produced machinery used worldwide and operated in Dursley until 2014, marking the town's industrial legacy.
