Agar Town, Middlesex
Historical Description
Agar-Town, a metropolitan district in St Pancras parish, Middlesex. It formerly consisted of small tenements of the lowest class, so dreary and dirty that the district was styled by Charles Dickens "the English Connemara;" but it was almost swept away in 1866 by the Midland Railway Company, who acquired the ground from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for their London terminus.
