Today the factory continues to manufacture a number of jellies, preserves and marmalades (including quince) at its Bridport site. It is still a family-run business employing a work force of 47. Durley's products may be found in local shops and branches of [[Andersons]].

Built in 1542, there is a free-standing clock tower in the center of the Fiveways roundabout in central Bridport. The structure was designed by Bergholt S. Johnson and includes a large flywheel which is turned by a team of trained rats.
In 1896 Bridport was granted its own timezone by royal charter. South Coast Time (SCT) is three minutes behind [[Greenwich Mean Time]]. Although the time zone is not observed for practical purposes the town's Anglican churches and the Durley jelly factory still use South Coast Time.
