List of urban districts formed in England and Wales 1894–95

Urban districts were a form of local government in England and Wales between 1894 and 1974, typically used for smaller and medium sized towns. They were created on 31 December 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 73). The vast majority of urban districts formed at that time were created by renaming the pre-existing urban sanitary districts, such as local board districts or improvement commissioners districts. Only a minority of the urban districts created in 1894 were for places that had not previously had urban forms of local government.

Other, usually larger, towns and cities were governed as municipal boroughs.
Note for table: 'UD' stands for Urban District, 'RD' stands for Rural District, 'MB' stands for Municipal Borough, 'Met. B' stands for Metropolitan Borough and 'CB' stands for County Borough.

1894

edit

Initially 753 urban districts were created under the Local Government Act 1894 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 73). Of these, 692 had previously been local board districts or local government districts, and 30 had been improvement commissioners districts.[1][a][2] When the 1894 Act came into force on 31 December 1894 an additional 31 urban districts were created for areas which had not previously been urban sanitary districts, whilst four urban sanitary districts were abolished at the same time (two absorbed into larger urban neighbours, two downgraded to rural areas) and so did not become urban districts.[3][b]

  1. ^ This list published in 1894 appears to show the position part way through 1893. It lists 239 municipal boroughs, 30 improvement act districts (excluding Folkestone, which was anomalously both a borough and an improvement act district) and 696 local government districts. There were a small number of changes during 1893 and 1894 after this list was compiled and before the major changes brought about by the 1894 Act: Brighouse and Whitehaven were elevated from local government districts to boroughs, the local government districts of Howdon, Leckhampton and Rastrick were abolished, and new local government districts were created for Alsager, Buckfastleigh, Cockington, Woking and Woodbridge. As such, there were 241 municipal boroughs, 30 improvement act districts and 696 local government districts immediately prior to the 1894 Act coming into force.
  2. ^ The 31 newly created urban districts were Bromyard, Brumby and Frodingham, Buckhurst Hill, Carnforth, Chertsey, Chingford, Crewkerne, Erdington, Finedon, Frimley, Golborne, Greenford, Hoddesdon, Irlam, Leatherhead, Ledbury, Machynlleth, Nailsworth, Perry Barr, South Shoebury, Sunbury, Urmston, Walton-on-Thames, Warblington, Wealdstone, Weetslade, Wembley, Weybridge, Whitstable, Wigston Magna, and Worsley. The four local government districts that did not become urban districts were Bisley (transferred to Stroud Rural District), South Cave and Wallingfen (split between Beverley Rural District and Howden Rural District), Austonley (absorbed into Holmfirth UD) and Cumberworth (merged with Denby to form Denby and Cumberworth).
