PINNER, a village and a parish in Hendon district, Middlesex. The village stands on high ground, near an affluent of the river Colne, and near the Northwestern railway, 2½ miles NW of Harrow; was once a market-town; and has a post-office under Watford, and a station on the railway.
The parish contains also West-End, East-End, Hatch-End, and Woodridings; and was formerly a part of Harrow parish. Acres, 3, 720. Real property, £11,099. Pop. in 1851, 1,310; in 1861, 1,849. Houses, 337. The increase of pop. arose from the erection of a number of villas, and from the establishment of the Commercial Travellers’ school. Pop. in 1868, about 2,000. The property is much subdivided.
Pinner Place was the seat of Gov. Holwell, who was shut up in the Black Hole of Calcutta, but survived. There are numerous good residences.
