Bury was a local government district centred on Bury in the northwest of England from 1846 to 1974. Under the Bury Improvement Act 1846 a board of twenty-seven improvement commissioners was formed for Bury. The Improvement Commissioners District was enlarged in 1872. A charter of incorporation dated 9 September 1876 created the town a municipal borough and it was further extended in 1885. Under the Local Government Act 1888 Bury was constituted a county borough. This meant that that it was independent of Lancashire County Council, exercising both the powers of a borough and county council. However, Bury remained in Lancashire for judicial and other purposes such as lieutenancy and shrievalty. The county borough was extended in 1911 when it gained the Warth area from Radcliffe Urban District and in 1933 when it absorbed much of the dissolved Bury Rural District.〔〔The Lancashire (Southern Areas) Review Order 1933〕〔F A Youngs Jr., ''Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England'', Vol II: Northern England, London, 1991〕 The County Borough of Bury was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 and its territory transferred to Greater Manchester to form the central part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury. ==Corporation== On incorporation the borough was divided into five wards: Church, Redvales, East, Moorside and Elton. The corporation consisted of a mayor, ten aldermen and thirty councillors, with six councillors and one alderman returned for each ward. On the extension of the borough in 1933 the size of the borough council was increased to thirty-three councillors and eleven aldermen.〔''The Municipal Elections'', The Times, 2 November 1933, p.14〕 In 1969 wards were reorganised and the council increased in size to thirty-six councillors and twelve aldermen.〔The Times, 12 May 1969〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「County Borough of Bury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
