Pinner has a history dating back to 900AD. It was a tiny hamlet and has some seriously old historical connotations. The high street is not a long one, hardly 300 meters or so? Here is my visit photographs of this lovely little high street.
A little green stars your visit off. This was granted to the parish by John Edward Clark in 1924, in perpetuity, so that the parishoners can enjoy the open space. Nice, no? almost 90 years hence, I am enjoying this little green patch.
The flowers are in full bloom. 
Yes, the green is a public land but the road around it is a private road. Hmmm
A dry hedge with a cute little lamp. 
This is the top of the road with the church on the right. Here is the photo blog of this church from earlier. 
A lovely restaurant in a very beautiful house. 
The High Street
Couple of lovely little houses. Would be worth couple of million as well. 
A gnarled tree. 
Daffodils flowering across the green
A lovely window in a roof filled with beautifully cast roof tiles
Sloping roofs and steep stairs
A rather distressed door in a old old brick wall
A tree trunk. 
Looking at the top of the High Street. 
An amazing chimney. 
Very old building…
The Restaurant again, this time from the side. 
The High Street Again. 
A firm of estate agents, very interesting roof structure, no? 
The war memorial
Salute
The three sides are covered with plaques with the names of the villagers who died in the service of the country. Again another salute. 
Walking down the street
The obligatory pub
The roof is all wavy and stuff, ancient ancient place. 
Hmmm, the name could have been improved
I think the shop name is missing something in the middle..and what’s with the spot lights? 
The answer, as we know, is 42 but can range down to 40 as well. 
And its now a pizza place. Ironic? 
Nice name for the shop
Another shop with a lovely flower display in the windows
Estate office and another lovely brick face building
Another couple of lovely shops. 
The cake shop, this shop has some amazing creations, yummy. 
My back locked up…
Cafe Rouge, which my darling daughter informed me, means Cafe Red in French. 
A tiny alley way between 2 shops
Another very very old shop with all lines awry
Couple of doves cooking away. 
A tad old fashioned, no? 
The Victory Pub
A door to the pub
Some lovely flowers. 
Toy shop. 
An interesting building with estate agents as the inhabitants. 
Another door to the pub with a post office trolley in front. 
Coming to the end of the street. 
A clock on the wall of the estate agents
Beautiful windows
Yummy Home..
I am now reaching the end of the High Street. 
The estate agents again
At the end of the High Street and looking back up. 
Fascinating name, fits, eh?
Pinner is a lovely little town and the old old shopping High Street resembles it. Love the place.
