Whitley, Berkshire
Whitley is a suburb of the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. It is also an electoral ward of the Borough of Reading. Geography Whitley, commonly known as one of the larger suburbs of Reading, is bounded to the north and east by a ridge of high ground carrying the road to Shinfield, to the west by the valleys of the River Kennet and the Foudry Brook, and to the south by an ill-defined boundary with the suburb of Whitley Wood. The former main road to Basingstoke passes just to the west of the centre of Whitley, dividing largely residential areas to its east from a largely industrial zone to its west.

Witley
Witley is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Waverley in Surrey, England centred south west of the town of Godalming and southwest of Guildford. The land is a mixture of rural (ranging from woodland protected by the Surrey Hills AONB including a small part of the forested Greensand Ridge to cultivated fields) contrasting with elements more closely resembling a suburban satellite village.

Witley Common is a wide expanse of land, owned by the National Trust, crossed by the A3 road. The village is served by two stations on the Portsmouth Direct Line: Witley station, to the south in nearby Wormley, and, to the north, Milford station, which is more or less equidistant between Milford and Witley.

Whitley Gilbert
Whitley Marion Gilbert-Wayne is a fictional character who appears in the American sitcom ''A Different World'', portrayed by actress Jasmine Guy. Warming up to whiz student Dwayne Wayne, the two have an on/off relationship with their later marriage near the end of the series. Conception Whitley Gilbert was based on head writer Susan Fales-Hill. When Jasmine Guy auditioned for the role of Whitley Gilbert, she originally considered using her own Northern accent, but instead used an exaggerated Southern accent, believing it would be more comedic. The inspiration for Whitley's accent was Miss Pinkard, Guy's third-grade teacher and her first teacher in the Atlanta Public Schools system after her family moved to Atlanta from Boston. Character History In the beginning of the series, Whitley Gilbert was the spoiled Southern belle of Gilbert Hall, but viewers watched Whitley evolve over the seasons.
