TheBrent and Kilburn Times is a British weekly newspaper published byArchant in theLondon Borough of Brent, currently published on Thursdays. It provides local news inKilburn,Wembley and other surrounding areas.
The paper dates back to the first issue of theKilburn Times on 14 March 1868. It was founded by Rowland George Bassett (c. 1842-1906) and was based in Kilburn. Another paper, theWillesden Chronicle and Herald, was launched in 1877; a year later the two papers merged and the new office and printing works was based on High Road,Willesden. At the time, theKilburn Times was heavily favoured by the working class and the Irish community, as opposed to its more middle class rivalHarrow Observer.[2][3]
A national press guide published in 1875 called theKilburn Times one of the "largest, cheapest and most influential newspapers in the west and north west of London", and "it is undeniably the best advertising medium in the district."[4]
TheKilburn Times launched a new website in 2010. The other paper, later renamed theWillesden & Brent Chronicle and then theWillesden & Brent Times, ended publication in 2011 as it was amalgamated with theKilburn Times to create theBrent & Kilburn Times.[5]
