Holyhead Papers

Misc. Holyhead Papers: Includes maps; plans; prints; drawings; postcards and letters.

Holyhead Urban District Council was established in 1894 and took over responsibility from Holyhead Local Government Board, which was established in 1860 in response to problems caused by the rapid growth of the town. It was made up of elected officials including a chairman and councillors. U.D.C.s could be administered by a number of committees and by appointed officers including a clerk, treasurer, medical officer of health, surveyor and sanitary inspector. The UDC had responsibilities for sanitary services, sewerage, refuse collection, housing, streets, cemeteries, libraries, parks, war memorials, licensing of public entertainments, war damage and construction. The other U.D.C.s of Anglesey were Amlwch, Llangefni and Menai Bridge. The U.D.C.s were abolished under local government reorganization in 1974.
