50 YEARS AGO
July 5, 1974
LIVE rock music came to Henley’s Mill Meadows for the first time on Sunday without the faintest trace of trouble from the crowd which numbered around 100. The concert had been planned for regatta Saturday but was brought forward a week for various reasons. It was a friendly affair lasting from early afternoon well into the evening.
Football facilities for youngsters in Henley are sadly lacking but now an interested group of townspeople are trying to do something about it. They hope to enter three junior soccer teams in the South Chiltern Minor League next season. A committee has been formed and an open meeting is to be held at Thamesfield on Wednesday.
After four years without a village post office, Stoke Row residents now have one. There was a champagne launch on Monday morning. The post office forms part of the shop run by Mr Bill Dunn and his wife. Until now post office trade was carried out on Friday mornings with the nearest post offices at Peppard or Nettlebed.
