Mary Henry, known as Mollie to her friends, currently lives at Esk Hall residential home, Sleights, after moving from her house at Brook Park, Sleights, in August 2001. She was born at Hall Farm, Easington, on 29 September 1898..Mrs Henry said: "Those were lovely days when I was a girl. In the village, that was your place and everyone respected you but times change - although my mother always used to say 'That's life'." Born Mary Dawson she lived with her parents until marrying her late husband, Norman Charles Henry, after meeting him at a social function.. Mrs Henry puts her remarkable longevity down to fresh air, fresh food and plenty of it.Even now she still eats two fried eggs for breakfast along with cereal and prunes. She said: "I have a lot to be thankful for, I have a memory and I have all my faculties." She received a telegram from the Queen for her birthday and celebrated the day with a party with her family, friends and other residents.
