Pinner In The 1950''s

A Memory of Pinner.

I remember so many of these shops. Bosworths was - I think - a dress shop managed by relatives of my good friend John Walker. A few doors down near the corner was the Victory pub and around the corner a bike shop where I got my punctures repaired for three shillings! This happened frequently as I rode my bike for six miles every day to and from Pinner Grammar School from my home in Hatch End.  

Further up the hill was a gents hairdressers and next to it a lovely antique shop - I remember going in there and buying a set of silver tea spoons as a present for my mother. On the opposite side of the road there is the Queen's Head pub - little changed in centuries I imagine!
