| History | Local Boards of Health were first set up in 1848 to administer services which related to public health in populated areas not covered by borough councils. Under the Public Health Act 1872 local boards of health were designated rural sanitary authorities and in 1894, these authorities became urban/rural district councils under the Local Government Act of that year. Hayfield RDC was abolished in 1934 when it was absorbed into Chapel-en-le-Frith RDC. |
