Rural Sanitary Authorities

Ref: CDC/RSA

Records of the Rural Sanitary Authorities.

These authorities were created under the Public Health Act

of 1872, and their powers transferred to the Rural and Urban

District Councils in 1894. There is sometimes an 'overlap'

of records, where a record created by the Sanitary Authority

was continued by the District Council. A note has therefore

been made where RSA records are to be found under the RDC or

UDC records.
