At the top of Pinner High Street, just before you reach L'Orient restaurant and St John the Baptist church, you find the war memorial with a couple of benches where you can sit and look down the high street.
On the road side of the memorial is an inscription relating to the Great War.
On the opposite side of the memorial is an inscription relating to the Second World War. You probably recognize the words: For your tomorrows they gave their todays. The original was adapted from a classical Greek text, translated into English. It was devised for a memorial in Asia and has been copied many times all over the world, in various versions.
