Notes

Rare and detailed plan of St Pancras, orientated with north to the right, and extending from the Royal Zoological Gardens, to Euston Station and from Highgate to University College London. The plan is coloured according to wards and has a key to ecclesiastical districts to the upper left.

Large-scale Victorian plans are particularly rare, and this plan is no exception: one institutional example known, at the British Library.

Approximately 5 statue miles to 1 inch.
