A hundred years ago...

LAST Thursday evening, the congregational hall in Henley was comfortably filled with a most appreciative audience composed of members of the Henley Horticultural Society and the Henley Literary Society to hear a lecture on hardy and half-hardy annuals by Mr Frank Townsend, of Reading. The Rev E S Spooner proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Townsend for his instructive and interesting lecture and for bringing such a fine lot of pictures.

The Co-Operative Society held a whist drive and dance at the town hall on Wednesday evening for members and friends and the whole affair was a gigantic success. The arrangements were made by an energetic committee of men, while a number of the lady members worked hard in providing refreshments.
