EPW054664 ENGLAND (1937). The town centre, Pinner, 1937

I think this was a postage stamp shop in the 80's.

Howards Place

Bus in the turning circle outside the Red LIon. Buses from Harrow terminated here

Elm Park Court

The Old Oak Tearooms

Originally built in 1878 as The Cocoa Tree coffee tavern, a refreshment and social meeting house run according to principles of temperance, it was probably serving as the local Conservative club at the time of the photograph (and probably a deal less temperately).

Cornerways tearoom and restaurant. This building has hosted various restaurants and even a wine bar over the years. Its much older role, however, was that of a butcher's shop.

The bakery

Methodist Church

Was this the rectory for St Luke's RC church? It occupies the site later taken up by the construction of the new church.

Post office and sorting office

I think that this is the rear view of the original Victory public house. The building in the High Street that later became the Victory, although a much older building, has a much more recent history as a pub.

St John the Baptist parish church

St Luke's RC parish church. The current new building appears to have incorporated the old church building shown here as a church hall.

The newly built Langham cinema. Opened 9th January 1936.

I believe that this was a small motor garage. There appears to be a fuel pump in the forecourt. This building was probably swept away when the Met line was quadrupled in about 1960. The building to its immediate left (out of shot) would have been The George pub.

An advertising hoarding for Karpol; a proprietary car polish.

This building under construction was Woolworth's, but is now a branch of W.H.Smith
