Henley Family Memories
A Memory of Henley-on-Thames.
My father's mother came from Henley with strong family roots in Highmoor Cross, Shiplake and Rotherfield Grey's. My great grandparents lived at 2 Queen Street and had a huge family of 10 or 11 children in what seems today a very small house. At regatta time we always visited by train from West Drayton and had to change at Twyford. My great grandmothers brothers and sisters all lived around the town (Kings Road I think where Uncle Jim lived). We always went and watched the regatts boats and I remember seeing Richard Morley there and also the man who played Robin Hood. My grandmothers brother lost his life in WW1 and his name is on the big plaque on the building in the middle of the town. All the family are gone now but I love Henley and visit frequently - it feels like home even if it's not - a truly beautiful place!
