Pinner was a rural Middlesex village when the camera came into general use, 150 years ago, with a population of little more than a thousand. A Pictorial History gave Pinner Local History Society unrivalled access to old photographs that had previously languished unseen in private collections. Descendants of families which once lived here have also been inspired to ransack cellars and attics and the results of these searches are published here for the first time. Showing historical people, places and events, they offer the starkest and most immediate reminder of the Pinner our ancestors knew. In the century and half that has passed since the invention of photography the former country village has grown into the modern London suburb. The changes have been captured by the camera, and old photographs illustrate vividly just what has remained and what has changed in the High Street and in the hamlets such as East End, West End and Hatch End. They show how Pinner came to be distinguished by the hills, trees and parks which make it such a desirable place to live today, and how historical events impacted on the life of the community.
