In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Kensington Gravel Pits like this:

KENSINGTON-GRAVEL-PITS, a metropolitan suburb in Kensington parish, Middlesex; 1 mile NNE of Kensington Town. It was originally a place of gravelpits; and it passed through the stage of a hamlet to its present condition.
