Date: 14:00 20th September 2026
Joseph Locke is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery. He was probably more influential on the development of UK railways than Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who is also buried here. This tour will look at his achievements and those of some of the other railway engineers and promoters, who found their resting place in Kensal Green.
The tour will be conducted by John Haines, Chartered Civil Engineer and Kensal Green tour guide.
