The highest point in the district, 502 feet above
Ordnance datum, is on the Watford Road ait the Hertfordshire
boundary. The lowest point, about 150 feet,
is to be found at the south-east corner of Pinner Parish.
The district is distinctly a residential one, being
somewhat heavily timbered, and has a very small acreage
of arable land. The agricultural portion of it is
laid down in grass and the chief agricultural product is
hay.
Geology.
The district lies upon the great London clay bed,
which is capped on the higher land by patches of gravel
of varying thickness. In some places, notably in the
north-east corner of Harrow Weald, the subsoil water
rises to within a foot or 18 inches of the surface of the
gravel.
Public Open Spaces.
Besides the Stanmore Cricket Ground (7 acres),
Stanmore Marsh (14 acres), The Little Common,
Stanmore (6J acres), and the Pinner Beds (10 acres),
the principal Common lands are those of Harrow Weald
and Great Stanmore. The area of the former is 34¾
acres, and of the latter 121½ acres. In addition your
Council has purchased this year the Headstone Manor
Farm Estate of 63 acres for a public recreaition ground.
