Cattle at Pinner Park Farm

There can be very little land within the old county of Middlesex still in agricultural use but here stretching away to the north east of Pinner in the Borough of Harrow is green belt land belonging to Pinner Park Farm and used for raising beef cattle. In fact the farm is owned by the council and operated on an agricultural lease by the tenants. However, the council announced proposals in 2014 to convert the land into a country park and the farm buildings - some of which are in a dilapidated condition - to residential property. This proved enormously controversial and the status quo would appear to have been maintained, at least for the time being.
