Pitshanger Lane - 100 Years Old
in 2009 |
|
In 1909 Pitshanger Road, as it was then named, was
changed to Pitshanger Lane. Since then the Lane has
developed, along with the surrounding roads, into a
thriving and highly desirable residential area of
which many of us, who live in the area, are
justifiably proud and wish to retain the “village”
atmosphere. In 2009 the Lane reached the age
of 100 years old, a centenary year that was marked
by a wide range of community events. |

Pitshanger Centenary included St Barnabas Church,

Community Legacy |
|
The Pitshanger Centenary itself lasted just one
year, but we aim to maintain and foster the sense of
cooperation between community organisations that
sprang up during the year. One way we will
help to do that is to maintain an on-line community
calendar that includes events run by a wide range of
local organisations as well as the PCA. The
Pitshanger Community Calendar is
here. |
