Following a recent on line poll carried out last month, the following names were submitted to the Street Naming and Numbering Authority at Harrow Council.

• Pinn Mews
• Langham Mews
• Pinnora Mews

Pinn Mews and Langham Mews were rejected by the authority. (The Royal Mail, emergency services and utility companies all get a say in the name.)

Pinnora Mews was approved.  (Pinner was originally a hamlet, first recorded in 1231 as Pinnora, although the already archaic -ora (meaning ‘hill’) suggests its origins lie no later than circa 900.)
