It has a church, a primary school, a co-operative store, a working men's club and a village hall.

The name is derived from the village's position at the end of the nearby Kingsbury Wood, a pine plantation.

There was also a small settlement of several houses called Edge Hill, and a United Free Methodist Chapel, which closed in the late 1970s.

In the late 1970s Birchfield Close was constructed for private housing, and the village was expanded in 1985 when a new estate, Pinewood Avenue, was built to the west.

The most recent addition to the residential area is Meadow View, completed in 2005, which was built on scrub land previously occupied by prefabs.
