Dist:0.3km north<br/>Taken in 1962 (probably on a Sunday morning in view of the lack of people and traffic), looking towards The Embassy cinema, shortly to be demolished and replaced by a Safeway supermarket and 10-pin bowling alley. Also notable is the hourly Green Line coach from Wrotham in Kent en route for Amersham in Buckinghamshire.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This Art Deco landmark is at the junction of the A404 Pinner Road (to the right) with Woodlands (to the left), except that the junction itself was closed off to road traffic many years ago. Wealdstone Motors' website is here http://www.wealdstonemotors.co.uk/7575/wealdstone.htm and it's good to report that the clock was telling the right time.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>Pinner Court and its sister block, Capel Gardens, were built in 1935 and 1936 as colonial-style luxury flats, for the Courtenay Property Company Limited, to the design of H J Mark. The distinctive green tile roofed white walled buildings have three stories and are arranged in three groupings set back about 60 metres from Pinner Road. The dark block on the right is a fountain.

Dist:0.9km east<br/>West Harrow is on the Metropolitan Line between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Uxbridge, which was opened in 1904. The station here, in The Gardens, was opened in 1913, although the building is obviously completely new.
