Kensal Rise History
Kensal Rise has a rich history, with its origins dating back to the 19th century. The area was initially developed as a residential suburb, with the arrival of the railway in 1873 playing a significant role in its growth. The name “Kensal Rise” was derived from the Kensal Green station, which was renamed Kensal Rise in 1890.
During the 20th century, Kensal Rise became a thriving industrial area, with factories and warehouses lining the Grand Union Canal. However, the area experienced a decline in the latter half of the century, as industries moved out and the canal fell into disuse. In recent years, Kensal Rise has undergone significant regeneration, with new developments and amenities transforming it into a desirable residential area.
One notable historical event in Kensal Rise was the opening of the Shakespeare Library in 1900, which was funded by American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. The library was officially opened by Mark Twain, who was living in London at the time. Although the library closed in 2011, the building still stands as a testament to the area’s literary heritage.
