Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Ampthill Square Garden Committee was set up in 1856 to enable "the inhabitants... to take the measures necessary for the maintenance and management of the ornamental garden in Ampthill Square". Since the Square was located in the Parish of Saint Pancras close to and on part of the site now occupied by Euston Station, much of the committees' time was taken up with opposing Bills put forward by the London and North Western Railway Company for development of the land.
