Paley Street
Paley Street is a small village in the civil parishes of White Waltham and Bray in the English county of Berkshire. It is situated about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Maidenhead and 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Windsor. By the later medieval period, 'street' was often used to describe straggling villages in areas of late woodland clearance. Paley Street is one such example.[1] For many years in the 1990s a horse racing yard was located at Cedars Farm.
