Lucky find, i know they both enjoy disturbed ground. It realy bothers me that as litle as 20 years ago henbane was a common plant yet now it is so rare.

Finding the two together is very lucky. Deadly Nightshade is better in partial to full shade were as henbane must be in full sunlight. Belladonna been a plant chiefly found on chalky soil's you'd have thought living next to the South downs i'd have had better luck finding it
Henbane - well
