Henley on Klip is a town in Midvaal Local Municipality in Gauteng, South Africa.

Fenning was educated in England, but returned to South Africa as a young man and became a transport rider, a contemporary of Sir Percy Fitzpatrick.

Soon after the outbreak of the Anglo Boer War, news came to Kidson that a commando was on his way to his farm to arrest him.

He finally made his way to Natal, but returned to the Transvaal after the war, settling in Henley on Klip with his wife, Edith.

At 14:15 on 28 January 1970, a schoolbus stalled on a level crossing and was hit by a passenger train; 23 children were killed and 16 were injured.
