Ulley
Ulley is a village and civil parish of the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, England. It is located about south of the town of Rotherham and east of Sheffield City Centre.
==History==
Excavations in Ulley have revealed the course of a probable Roman road running north-south through the village. Other Roman finds in the village include coins and a fragment of Samarian ware.
The earliest written record of Ulley is in the Domesday book of 1086, where it is referred to as ''Ollei''. The name is Old English in origin but of uncertain meaning. It may derive from ''wulf'' (wolf) or ''Ulla'' (a Saxon personal name) and ''lēah'', meaning a meadow. Alternatively, it may mean ‘woodland clearing frequented by owls’. Following the Norman conquest of England in 1066, Ulley was among the lands given to the Earl of Mortain. Later, the village passed into the hands of the Priory of Worksop.〔(Rotherham The Unofficial Website )〕
During the Second World War, a German bombing raid for Sheffield dropped bombs on a set of cottages situated on Main Street where houses 5–7 are now. The bombs hit the cottages but failed to detonate. When the army arrived to deal with the unexploded bombs, they retired to the pub to decide what to do, and while they were there the bombs exploded, demolishing the cottages.
