In 1819, Fulk Greville Howard bought the Kilburn Priory estate and began the development of Kilburn Vale.
After the Second World War, in 1947, the London County Council (LCC) announced a scheme of 104 flats in Kilburn Vale. The building of this estate (opened 1951) involved the demolition of some of the earliest buildings in the area.
The former length of Kilburn Vale was seriously curtailed.
