Pinner is a suburb in the London Borough of Harrow, northwest London. Pinner is twelve miles northwest of Charing Cross, close to the border with Hillingdon, historically in the county of Middlesex. The population of Pinner was 38,698 in 2021.
Pinner was originally a mediaeval hamlet, the St John Baptist church dates from the 14th century and other parts of the historic village include impressive Tudor buildings. The newer High Street mainly consists of eighteenth-century buildings, while Bridge Street has a more urban character and many popular and modern chain stores.
As mentioned above, Pinner was originally a hamlet. It was first recorded in 1231 as Pinnora, although the already archaic -ora suffix, which means 'hill' suggests its origins lie no later than around the year 900. The name Pinn is shared with the River Pinn, which runs through the middle of Pinner. Another suggestion of the name is that it means 'hillslope shaped like a pin', although this is a mere suggestion and not based on any real historical authority.
The oldest part of Pinner lies around the fourteenth century parish church of St. John the Baptist, at the junction of the present-day Grange Gardens, High Street and Church Lane. The church was originally a chapel of ease to St Mary's Church, Harrow on the Hill, and was first mentioned in 1234. It was rebuilt in the early fourteenth century and rededicated in 1321. The parish became independent of St Mary's in 1766, when the first perpetual curate was appointed; not until the Wilberforce Act of 1868 did it appoint its first vicar, one William Hind. William Wilberforce was a British politician, who with the abolitionists spent two decades trying to get Parliament to pass a law ending the slave trade.
The earliest surviving private dwelling in Pinner, East End Farm Cottage, dates from the late fifteenth century.
Pinner expanded rapidly between 1923 and 1939, when a series of garden estates, including the architecturally significant Pinnerwood estate conservation area, which was encouraged by the Metropolitan Railway, grew around its historic centre. It was largely from this time onwards that the area, including Hatch End, which forms the northeastern part of Pinner assumed much of its present-day suburban character. The area is now contiguous with neighbouring suburban districts including Rayners Lane and Eastcote.
Pinner contains a large number of homes built in the popular 1930s Art Deco style, the grandest of which is the Grade II listed Elm Park Court at the junction of West End Lane and Elm Park Road. Pinner is also the site of one of the United Kingdom's oldest chartered fairs, called Pinner Fair, which has been held every year since 1336.
Pinner lay within the historic county of Middlesex; it was located at the western end of the hundred of Gore, before it was in the Hendon Rural District. In 1965 it became a part of the London Borough of Harrow in the newly formed ceremonial county of Greater London.
Pinner's St John the Baptist parish church was consecrated in 1321 but built on the site of an earlier Christian place of worship. The west tower and south porch date from the 15th century.
Pinner includes Pinner Village at its centre, along with the areas of Pinner Green and Pinnerwood Park Conservation Area to the north. To the northeast is the larger area of Hatch End, served by Hatch End railway station, which used to be called Pinner Railway Station.
The River Pinn flows through Pinner, flowing in a diagonal direction. Large parks and open spaces are Pinner Memorial Park, Pinner Village Gardens, Roxbourne Gardens, Pinner Wood, and Pinner Park.
Pinner Memorial Park has a large house in it which includes a museum to Illustrator Heath Robinson as well as a cafe which hosts regular music events throughout the summer, while Roxbourne Gardens also hosts a pop-up cafe and music venue on Sundays year-round.
A great deal of Pinner has an elevation of about 148 to 200 feet. Nower Hill rises to a peak of about 260 feet above sea level while Pinner Park peaks at 203 feet. The semi-rural Pinnerwood area is steep and rises to a peak of over 390 feet around Pinner Hill Golf Course.
As the mercury begins to fall, those crisp mornings and chilly evenings are just around the corner. What better time to curl up in front of a gorgeous solid fuel stove or open fire?
None of this will be possible if your chimney is in need of a good clean, so why not book one of our chimney sweeps today?
