Kensal Green & Queens Park 1913

Detailed map of Kensal Green; London sheet 47. Introduction by Alan Godfrey. The map shows Kensal Green on the west side of the map, 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 SE 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 map includes extracts from street directories.
