We will look at the history of the area that we know as Queen’s Park – from the royal beginnings of the famous local park to the artisans and labourers who built the dwellings nearby. The Victorian heritage of the surrounding streets, historic architecture and fascinating personalities who contributed to the development of the area will be revealed through a wealth of historic and current photos, maps and illustrations.
This talk was developed for Brent Heritage Tours and Trails — part of Being Brent – Heritage for Health and Wellbeing, a project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and delivered by Brent Museum and Archives.
