Pinder Oaks is known from at least the 17th century as the home of William Taylor (Hunter 1831, 292). In the early 19th century there was a bleach ground at this site (Taylor 1993, 22), the buildings were later used as offices and from 1921 to 1970 as the Pinder Oaks Maternity hospital (The Welcome Trust 2007 [accessed 11/01/08]). There is fragmentary legibility of the buildings and property boundaries in the area of scrub.
