Kensal Green & West Kilburn 1865 – 47.1

Kensal Green and West Kilburn in 1865 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Four versions of this map have been published, with Kensal Green on the west side, west Kilburn to the east, and Kensal New Town near the foot of the map. Stretches of the Hampstead Junction, LNWR and GWR railway lines and the Grand Junction Canal run through the map. On the 1865 version there is little development apart from Kensal New Town, buildings along Kensal Road, part of Westbourne Green in the extreme south-eastern corner, and early west Kilburn streets around Canterbury Road. Near the centre of the map is Chamberlain Wood Farm. Each map shows All Souls (or Kensal Green) Cemetery. The later maps are much more built up, with solid streets of housing between Kensal New Town and the LNWR railway, including Harrow Road, Kilburn Lane, Shirland Road and many more. Other features include gasworks, carriage sheds, Queen`s Park, Queen`s Park station. On the 1913 map Kensal Rise, north of the LNWR is also built up. The 1935 map includes the car factory for Talbot cars. The three later maps include extracts from street directories. The 1865 map includes a description of the cemetery from Walford`s Old & New London.About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25″ OS Series:Selected towns in Great Britain and Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th and early 20th century.
