The Heritage of Henleaze and the Olympics – 2012 style!
This photo epitomises the excitement in Henleaze as the
Olympic torch bearer runs down Henleaze Road past the former historic
lodge house to Henley Park Mansion.
The photo was taken at approximately 8.55am on Wednesday 23rd May 2012.
The Olympic Games have been hosted twice before by London in 1908 and 1948. London is hoping to leave its innovative mark once again on this third occasion.
