About Us
The Henleaze Book aims to:
Research and find out more local, social and family history with voluntary help from past and present residents and anyone who is interested in the Henleaze area of Bristol and its environs.
Respond to the needs of people to build on/or improve facilities in its local community
Produce a monthly email newsletter with the latest local history on the area and also help to create and publish books with Henleaze Connections.
This group started with four members in the late 1980s – Veronica Bowerman, Sylvia Kelly, Ron Lyne and Elizabeth Herring. Following the information researched by the group about the area and also from the facts provided by past and present residents the first dedicated publication solely about the history of Henleaze was published in 1991. A lot of interest was therefore generated and the first edition of the book sold out within a couple of weeks.
