Holborn was a local government district in the metropolitan area of London to the north west of the City of London from 1855 to 1900. The district was formed by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 from the following Middlesex civil parishes and places:〔Metropolis Management Act 1855 (18 & 19 Vict. c.120)〕 *The Liberty of Glasshouse Yard *The Liberty of Saffron Hill, Hatton Garden, Ely Rents and Ely Place *St Andrew Holborn Above the Bars with St George the Martyr *St Sepulchre Middlesex ==District board== The district was governed by the Holborn District Board of Works, which consisted of forty-nine elected vestrymen: twenty-four elected for the parish of St Andrew Holborn above Bars; nine for St George the Martyr; nine for Saffron Hill, Hatton Garden, Ely Rents, and Ely Place; six for St Sepulchre and one for Glasshouse Yard.〔Metropolis Management Act 1855 Schedule 2〕 The first elections were held in November 1855, when the entire membership of the board was elected. Thereafter elections for one third of the seats were held in May, beginning in the year 1857.〔Metropolis Management Act 1855, ss.7-9〕 Holborn District was originally within the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works and nominated one member to the MBW. In 1889 the area of the Metropolitan Board became the County of London, and Holborn District Board of Works became a local council under the London County Council. The Board of Works was administered from Holborn Town Hall, Gray's Inn Road.〔(''Post Office London Directory'', 1895, Part 3: Commercial and Professional Directory )〕 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「Holborn District (Metropolis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
