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.

LATEST NEWS - 3 JULY 2021
Greg and Jill Vine – formerly living in Henleaze, and Henbury where their family is still based – can speak about the contrasts of Gloucestershire and Kampala life, having spent 15 years living in Africa. Greg is a bush pilot and Jill a Comms Officer.
The Vines haven’t been able to visit their UK family and friends because of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, so this visit is particularly meaningful to them.
They have a wealth of stories and insights about working among some of the remotest communities across Uganda and Chad.
Greg and Jill are available for interviews between 29 June and 12 August, where they hope to return to Uganda depending on travel restrictions.
