'Pinner-Court' was the 19th century name for the present 52 and/or 54 Grays Inn Road. There were then two short, narrow cul-de-sacs there. One of them was Pinner Court, a name that is probably inspired by the presence of the Pindar of Wakefield public house on Grays Inn Road.
The street name is not included on any of the early maps I have seen, but Lockie's Topography (1810) notes that it is located on "Gray's-Inn-Lane,—at 35, that number on the R. from Middle-row, Holborn".[1]. Since he has Bell Court at No. 22, Portpool Lane at No. 52, and notes that Baldwin's Gardens leads to 32 Grays Inn Lane (later Gray's Inn Road),[2] the location can be established with reasonable certainty.
