Leigh Rural District

Leigh Rural District

The rural district of Leigh was a local government district in the administrative county of Lancashire from 1894 to 1933. [ [http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10042719 Leigh RD Lancashire through time | Administrative history of Local Government District: hierarchies, boundaries ] ]

It was created based on the Leigh rural sanitary district and consisted of the civil parishes of Astley, Culcheth, Kenyon and Lowton. The district was abolished in 1933 under a County Review Order. The parishes of Kenyon, Lowton and part of Culcheth went to the Golborne urban district, Astley went to the Tyldesley urban district, and the remainder of Culcheth parish became part of the parish of Croft in Warrington Rural District.

Since 1974 the area now forms part of the borough of Warrington (in the parishes of Croft and Culcheth and Glazebury), and of the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan.
