Memorials
A memorial to Searle, erected in 1891, stands on The Brothers rocks at the finish of the Parramatta River course, near Henley. It consists of a broken column on a plinth - broken by design to symbolise a life taken young.
A Sydney street at Tennyson Point is named after Henry Searle. Nearby streets are named after some of the other early Australian World Professional Sculling Champions, viz., William Beach, Peter Kemp, Jim Stanbury, and George Towns. They are not far from the old Championship Course on the Parramatta River.
In 2012 Searle was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.
