Dear Old 'enry

A Memory of Wembley.

As a kid in the 50's, my friends and I used to cycle from Hanwell, around Horseden Hill and on to Wembley, specifically to see Henry Cooper. It took us ages to get there but once we got there, we used to ask Henry for some fruit because we were so hungry and he would throw 3 or 4 apples at us and then tell us to "Clear Off". We'd went nearly every Saturday and he was always kind to us local kids - although pretended to be cross.

I was shocked when I returned to Wembley about 4 years ago - it seems that that past life has been completely wiped out.

Henry's shop was on or near the crossroads as I remember.

I vaguely remember going to his greengrocer with my mum in circa mid sixties.He also gave me an apple saying I’m Henry Cooper.
From a 5/6 year old child’s memory
I thought Henry’s shop was just in Ealing road -Opposite the Village inn pub which is now (looking on google earth) ‘The Masala restaurant’
