There is more to a House than meets the Eye Following his research into the gold medal architect Cecil Brewer and his talented client Sir Ambrose Heal, Jim Golland, the noted local historian, wrote a fascinating book named after the house they built, 'The Fives Court', which celebrated its centenary in 2000. It includes an entertaining account of the social background of the 1900's, the struggles, successes and loves of some Pinner families. There are 70 black and white and coloured illustrations. This is a limited edition and will be a collector's item. Price: £10.00 plus £1.00 postage. Proceeds donated to the West House Appeal. Available from The Fives Court, Moss Lane, Pinner, Middlesex HA5 3AG. Cheques payable to M Verden. To date sales of the book have raised over £1,000 towards the appeal. |
