Pinner is often seen as the epitome of Metroland but there was an original village there long before all the later 1930s housing came in - see
Link As would be expected John Betjeman, the main authority on Metroland, included Pinner in one of his poems - "The Metropolitan Railway - Baker Street buffet" has the verse:
"Early electric! Sit you down and see
'Mid this fine woodwork and a smell of dinner,
A stained-glass windmill and a pot of tea,
The sepia view of leafy lanes in PINNER
Then visualize, far down the shining lines,
Your parents' homestead set in murmuring pines."
This is Potter Street Hill which still has the feel of the winding country lane it once was.
