I don't think you can fault the logic. It might be slightly flowery language, but I consider

"Harpenden is a town in the City and District of St Albans of Hertfordshire in the East of England. It lies on the A1081, between Luton and St Albans. It smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over and that there is no sewage system and the people do not have anything  no arms, no legs, no eyes"

to be an accurate description of Harpenden. No?
