Histories of Henfryn, Moncrieff traced back
MONCRIEFF GENERAL STORE
Continued from page 12
The store was changed to a car
garage in the early part of this
century. The hotel burned in 1910.
All the buildings used for
businesses are gone, but a few
houses remain.
The railroad was abandoned in
1991 and the lines lifted in 1993.
Henfryn
Located on Lots 34 and 35
(Henfryn Line) of Conc. 8 and 9,
Henfryn had the advantage of both
the Maitland River and the
Wellington Grey and Bruce railway.
E.C.K. Davies purchased the land
in 1872 and operated a sawmill. The
railroad came through the following
year.
In the latter part of the 19th
century, Henfryn had a brewery,
store, hotel, stable, an Anglican and
Methodist church, sawmill and brick
and tile yard.
HENFRYN GENERAL STORE
Toll Free at 1 -888 -RING -KCL
Once a hotel of choice for rail
travellers from Kitchener to
Goderich, the hotel disappeared in
1901 when it was destroyed by fire.
The railroad station was built in
1876.
St. David's Anglican Church,
which had been built of Henfryn
brick in the 1880s, closed in 1964.
The Methodist Church was
situated south of the Anglican
Church, across Davies Street. It was
built in 1881.
The general store, which had
housed a boot and shoe business,
tailor and dressmakers, burned in
1939.
There was also a blacksmith shop,
pail factory and the only hennery in
Huron County.
The brick and tile yard was moved
from north of the Maitland on South
Half Part Lot 34, Conc. 8, to the lot
line between Conc. 8 and 9, south of
the river in 1952. Production
stopped in the early 1980s. Though
the last remnants are now gone, it
stood well into the latter part of the
last century.
Henfryn survives today as a
residential community.
Moncrieff
Located on Lots 30 and 31, Conc.
16 (Moncrieff Rd.), the hamlet was
named for Moncrieff, Scotland when
the first settlers arrived in the 1860s.
It was not until 1899 that mail was
brought directly to the community
when the post office was moved to
