Kensal Town
Kensal Town is a district of London. It is located at the boundary of the City of Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, at , though the name is generally little-used, with most considering it a part of North Kensington.〔Willey, Russ. ''Chambers London Gazetter'', p 268.〕 It is included in the W postcode area and was first recorded in 1876 as Kensal New Town.〔Mills, A., ''Oxford Dictionary of London Place Names'', (2001)〕 This name had been used since the 1840s to distinguish the area south of the Harrow Road where new housing was largely occupied by Irish immigrants. By the late 19th-century the area had deteriorated into a slum, though much of these were cleared and replaced with council housing during the mid 20th century.〔Willey, Russ. ''Chambers London Gazetter'', p 268.〕〔http://www.historytalk.org/Notting%20Hill%20History%20Timeline/timelinechap3.pdf〕
It was a detached part of the ancient parish of St Luke Chelsea, and was also known as Chelsea-in-the-Wilderness or the Hamlet of Kensal Town.
During the 19th century, the dog dealer Bill George's 'Canine Castle' establishment was on the Kensal Road.
Kensal Town is recorded in the 1861 England Census as the birthplace of a resident of St. Pancras and in the 1851 Census as a village in its own right.
