Hi
First time to this forum. I joined as when searching for info on Henlys Corner, a few replies came up sadly none of which helped!
I am researching into the history of Henlys and it has been surprisingly difficult. Much visiting of sites (duplicated info) and also archives, local studies and even Barnet Council.
Good news is I have made real progress, bad news is I have been unable to find a picture of Henlys Corner when Henlys were actually there.
Can ANYONE help me please??
Many thanks,
Bertie Henly.

I have a book called "the making of modern London "1914-1939" In there is a shot of Henly's on the great west road taken at night in the 1930's.

You just might get a few more replies by posting the question in the discussion section.

I was interested to read your request for information on Henly's. I am Bertie Henly's grand-daughter - no kidding.
What is your interest in Henly's? Sadly, I don't know much about the business but tell me what kind of information you're looking for and if I can help, I will! It is sad that there is so little about Henly's on the internet - I suppose that's because it was long gone when the internet came into being.... the only thing left of that hugely successful Company nowadays is indeed Henly's Corner. What a shame.
Good luck with the research - I would be very interested to hear what you have found out

Lets hope our mods email the OP, this could make an interesting thread, though i suspect the OP is after info for a book or similar.
Welcome Miss Henly.

If you go to Camden Lock just behind Hawley Crescent you can still see the original roof line and windows, the building is now a television studio a few years ago the wall was still sign written with HENLY'S SERVICE STATION.

Hi, are you really Berties Granddaughter?
I worked for Henlys back in the 70/80s and was also very involved with Jaguar so the history of Henlys is of great interest to me.
I know a great deal abouit the history of Henlys but am always looking to learn more, particularly the 'human' personal side. I know far too much about the cars!
Could you tell me when Bertie died? I need to know in order to answer another totally unrelated question.
I am trying to piece togther some facts and if Bertie may have been around at the time or not.
Thank you so much.

We've had no thanks from Bertie Henly for going to trouble to find him the pictures.

According to his profile, he hasnt logged on since 1970!

A forum glitch. I've got an explanation somewhere from the boss as to why it happens. I'll try and remember to look back through my emails later to see if I still have it.

That's Unix year dot IIRC.

Yes its the default UNIX date if its never updated.

Which would indicate Miss Henly never came back after posting her message.

Many thanks, brought back a few memories. The boat Jenny Wren is an iconic narrow boat from the 60s. Rick
