Audley developed as a small hamlet around the junction of Taunton Road East and Audley Road North and has developed into a residential area |

| The hamlet appears to have developed in the second quarter of the 1800s. It was originally called Brown’s Corners after Abraham Brown who owned the hotel and bar. The first Postmaster A. W. Brown was appointed 1st April 1835 and he resigned 4th March 1856 and on 1st June 1856 Thomas Palmer was appointed on 1st June 1856 and resigned on 8th November 1856 On the 1st January 1857 the name of the Post Office was changed to Audley and Benjamin Medill was appointed Postmaster. It is not known why the name was changed from Brown’s Corners to Audley but it is suspected that the name was changed because there was another Post Office called Brown’s Corners approximately 20 miles west of what was now called Audley (see map below) |
