\n\"Carlton<\/a>\n<\/div>

My next walk at the end of May 1988 took me to Kilburn Park and Kilburn, and again in this post I have put the pictures in the order of my walk rather than the somewhat random order they have in the Flickr album 1988 London Photos. The church in the picture of Carlton Vale is St Augustine, Kilburn, and the large block of flats on the corner of Carlton Vale and Kilburn Park Rd was demolished in 2018-9, though I think the overhead walkway went many years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Kilburn,<\/a>\n<\/div>
Kilburn, Brent 1988 88-5k-15<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These lower blocks of flats were a part of the same South Kilburn estate and I think close to the corner of Carlton Vale and Cambridge Rd. The estate of high-density housing in low-rise flats and 11 tower blocks was begun in 1959 and further developed in the 1960s and 70s. Brent embarked on a comprehensive redevelopment in 2014, which is resulting in a considerable loss of social housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Oxford<\/a>\n<\/div>

Unsurprisingly Oxford Road runs parallel with Cambridge Ave up to the Kilburn High Rd. These streets were two of those developed by local builder James Bailey in the 1860s, developing the area he called Kilburn Park. The name was given to the first underground station in Kilburn which opened in 1915 in Cambridge Ave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are typical houses of the era and were probably built from published designs in architectural pattern books. My grandather, who built a few houses on a much less grand scale had owned at least one of these and as children we were sometimes allowed to look at this beautifully illustrated volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Cambridge<\/a>\n<\/div>
Cambridge Avenue, Kilburn, Brent, 1988 88-5l-66<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At its southern end Cambridge Avenue leads to both Cambridge Road and the rather posher Cambridge Gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Central<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Central Motors, Canterbury House, Canterbury Rd, Kilburn, Brent 1988 88-5l-52-positive_2400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central Motors in Canterbury Rd still looks much the same, but Canterbury House, although retaining the facade had two extra storeys added in 2015-6 with luxury flats and penthouses. It as built in 1862 when this was still a part of Kilburn Lane as a railway signal factory for Saxby & Farmer who became one of the largest employers in the area but moved out around 1906. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"South<\/a>\n<\/div>
Crone Court, South Kilburn Estate, Rupert Road, Brent, 1988 88-5l-53 <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Crone Court is on the corner of Rupert Rd and Denmark Rd on the South Kilburn Estate and is due for redevelopment in the next few years. The 12 storey block, 32m tall, was completed in 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"Joe's<\/a>\n<\/div>

Joe’s Used Ballbearing Emporium & Cycleworks was definitely in Malvern Rd, West Kilburn as it had a street sign higher up on the building. It had a remarkable window display and I took far too many pictures – a few of them here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
