Welcome to Pinner Village Gardens
Pinner Village Gardens are owned by the London Borough of Harrow, located in the borough’s Pinner South Ward on the outskirts of Pinner town centre, and have entrances from Rayners Lane, Compton Rise, Whittington Way and Hereford Gardens. They are a 10-minute walk from Pinner tube station on the Metropolitan Line and provide 6.58 hectares for informal recreation. The park is supported by the work of the Friends of Pinner Village Gardens.
The park was laid out in the 1920s, which was at the same time as the development of the nearby suburb and roads. It is unique in that it contains a medieval narrow rig ridge and furrow field in the south part of the park. This is a feature usually found on poorly drained soil where ploughing had been carried out for a relatively long period.
Harrow Borough Council intended to level the field in the mid-’80s to make it easier for them to cut the grass. An archaeological survey was carried out. This was to determine whether these features represented ridge and furrow or whether they were later drainage features. No field drains were found and the features were confirmed as a ridge and furrow. It is the nearest example to London, and the ridges can still be seen to this day.
