About

Wolverton and New Bradwell sit on the northwestern edge of Milton Keynes, shaped by transport infrastructure. Wolverton developed around the London and North Western Railway works established in the 19th century; the workshops built and repaired rolling stock and the imprint of that industry is still visible in former works buildings and rows of terraced houses built for employees. The Grand Union Canal passes through Wolverton, with towpaths that trace the town and link locks and bridges to the local street pattern.

New Bradwell was laid out as housing for rail workers and remains a distinct parish with its own community facilities and green spaces. Today the area combines older terraces and later housing, local shops, schools and community centres clustered close to the canal and former works site, which has been repurposed for housing and light industry. Regular use of the towpath, community groups and local events keep a practical focus on place and history rather than tourist sights.
