Pinnerwood Park
Pinner is often seen as the epitome of Metroland but there was an original village there long before all the later 1930s housing came in - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4928777 As would be expected John Betjeman, the main authority on Metroland, included Pinner in one of his poems - "The Metropolitan Railway - Baker Street buffet" has the verse:
"Early electric! Sit you down and see
'Mid this fine woodwork and a smell of dinner,
A stained-glass windmill and a pot of tea,
The sepia view of leafy lanes in PINNER
Then visualize, far down the shining lines,
Your parents' homestead set in murmuring pines."
This is looking across Albury Drive towards Evelyn Drive in Pinnerwood Park. Many of the houses in this area of Pinner appear to be post-war.

Brook south of Uxbridge Road
It does not seem to have a name. The Thames Water monitoring point here is called Waxwell Lane, not very close here, but the brook does eventually run along the bottom of the long back gardens of houses in that road.
