The Granary
The Grade II listed Granary is the only museum structure that was not originally built as one of the farm buildings of Headstone Manor, having being originally constructed about a mile away in Pinner Park Farm. After becoming redundant and falling into a dilapidated condition it was carefully restored, before being moved to the Harrow Museum site in 1991.
Dating from the late 18th century, the Granary was actually a cattle feed store. Although it only has a ground floor and a first floor, the building has an extraordinary number of windows to the upper stories, making it a rather puzzling building. Originally the building would have been longer, but one end stood in damp ground and rotted away, reducing the Granary to its present size.
The Granary building fits well into the context of the Harrow Museum site. It was opened to the public in 1992, and contains a permanent exhibition on the agricultural history of Harrow on the ground floor, with the first floor displaying collections from Harrow's industrial past.
