Area Information
Because of this location it became known as Five Lanes’ End. It was renamed Barrett’s Cross in 1851. In 1862 at a meeting of residents the name was changed to Kensington upon the request of a prominent land owner, Thomas Sims.
In 1873 the provincial railroad, detouring from its original path, made its way through the Town and began operating in 1875. Many businesses then moved from Margate to Kensington. The Railway Station officially closed in 1983. In recognizing the richness of the station and the possibilities that existed efforts were made to preserve the station.
