Pinner Local History Society begins 2024 with an intriguing talk by Simon Morgan, ‘2000 years of Traffic Signs’. Simon chairs the Ruislip Local History Society and is chair of the BSI committee that is responsible for traffic signs. He was asked by the Department for Transport to combine his two interests by writing their official ’History of Traffic Signs”. Simon’s research for the book forms the subject of his talk.

The Heath Robinson Museum is proud to present an exhibition celebrating Mary Vermuyden Wheelhouse (1868 – 1947): British illustrator, toymaker and campaigner for women’s suffrage.
Wheelhouse is an artist who, in spite of her significant contributions to the history of British art, has perhaps never received the recognition she deserves. Despite a career illustrating books, crafting toys for Liberty’s and Harrods, and promoting the work of her fellow women artists, Wheelhouse’s work has never been shown in a solo exhibition.
Familiar with both the paintbrush and the placard, Wheelhouse was a dedicated suffragette. She helped found the Artists’ Suffrage League and exhibited with the Women’s International Art Club for many years, and was a tireless supporter of women artists, writers and crafters. This exhibition displays her vivid and detailed illustrations, as well as the wooden ‘Pomona’ toys she created with fellow artist and suffragette campaigner Louise Jacobs.
See three artistic careers overlap as Wheelhouse illustrates novels and stories, produces dynamic oil paintings and charms viewers of her delicate wooden dolls. Discover her legacy, not only as a fierce advocate for women’s rights, but also as a skilled, serious and endlessly versatile artist.

Harrow Choral Society Spring Concert
2024-03-23 17:30 - 20:30 | Harrow School, Speech Room, 5 High Street, Harrow on the Hill, HA1 3HP, United Kingdom
Spring Concert 2024
Harrow Choral Society has started rehearsals for its Spring Concert at Harrow School Speech Room on Saturday 23rd March when the choir will sing works by Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Vaughan Williams under the baton of Music Director, Sam Evans. The 90-strong choir will be joined by professional soloists and by the Byron Ensemble as well as by their regular accompanist Paul Ayres on organ and piano.
The combination of tuneful and inspiring music and the historic setting of Harrow School Speech Room, which has recently undergone a major refurbishment, promises a memorable evening for performers and audience alike.
The programme includes melodious and expressive works which convey a range of moods and emotions. The Hymn of Praise is the choral element of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2, which the composer described as a ‘symphonic cantata’. With its lively fugues and stately chorales the Hymn of Praise owes much to the influence of Bach whose music was such an inspiration for Mendelssohn.
Vaughan Williams’s sublime Five Mystical Songs are settings of religious poems by George Herbert, reflecting the composer’s lifelong fascination with the liturgy and music of the Anglican church. In contrast Beethoven’s intense and dramatic Elegiac Song commemorates the death of the philosopher and poet Johann Georg Jacobi. In addition to the choral items the Byron Ensemble will play Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, one of the composer’s earliest works and full of youthful vitality.
The concert starts at the earlier time of 5.30 pm. Tickets, which are £25 for adults and £2 for under-18s, may be obtained via the choir’s website at www.harrowchoral.org.uk, by email from boxoffice@harrowchoral.org.uk or by telephoning 07794 253463.
