There are parts of a building that become a legacy.
This is the original shop floor on Princess Street, Wolverhampton. Look up, and you’ll see a stunning stained glass ceiling that made Henns as much a piece of architecture as it was a jeweller.
John’s father and the previous director of Henns, Alan, had the interior remodelled during the 1980s in favour of a modern look. It’s no longer visible today, but for those who remember it, it was an iconic part of the high street. A reminder that Henns has always been about more than what sits in the cases.
Some things change, but our history is what makes us unforgettable.
