Strand was a local government district within the metropolitan area of London, England, from 1855 to 1900. Until 1889, the district was in the county of Middlesex, but included in the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works (MBW). In 1889, the area of the MBW was constituted the County of London, and the District Board became a local authority under the London County Council. ==Area== It was a similar area to the Strand Poor Law Union, which included St Anne, Soho and St Martin-in-the-Fields for only part of its existence. In 1885 the Strand Parliament constituency was formed covering a similar area, also including St Martin in the Fields. The district comprised the following civil parishes and places:〔Metropolis Management Act 1855 (18 & 19 Vict. c.120)〕 The main part of the district was bounded on the east by the City of London, on the north by the Holborn District and the St Giles District, and on the west by the parish of St Martin in the Fields. The parish of St Anne formed an exclave to the west.〔''See map in'' Michael Ball and David Sunderland, ''An Economic History of London 1800-1914'' London, 2001, p.12〕 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「Strand District (Metropolis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
