Counties in the 20th century 10:39 Apr 15, 2004
Historically, counties have always been administrative areas. For most of the 20th century, local government in Great Britain was made up of two-tier counties consisting of an 'upper tier' county council and various lower-tier city, borough and district councils. Some counties, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire for example, consisted of more than one county council. Some towns and cities had the status of county borough - a single tier of local government independent of the county council. |
