Church of the Sacred Heart, Kilburn
Image: © Stephen McKay Taken: 17 Dec 2008
This large Roman Catholic church stands at the corner of Quex Road and Mazenod Avenue. The building was designed by Edward Welby Pugin and opened in 1879. Kilburn has traditionally had a significant Irish community (sometimes the area is affectionately referred to as 'County Kilburn') - many of whom worshipped here. In the 1960s - when the Irish community was probably at its peak - the church held 18 masses each Sunday.
