Henry Street is a 400-metre-long (1,300 ft) street in Fremantle, Western Australia.[1] It was named after John Henry, second lieutenant of HMS Challenger.[2] It was developed very early in the history of the Swan River Colony with licensed premises being located as early as 1833.[3]
Henry Street has seen significant funeral processions pass along it on their way to the Fremantle Cemetery.[4]
It has some significant historical buildings,[5][6][7] including Falk & Company Warehouse, Fowler's Warehouse, Fremantle Customs House, the Marich Buildings, the Moore's Building, the Bateman Hardware building and the Orient Hotel. 33 Henry Street was a regular meeting place for a range of Fremantle associations.[8][9]
