  • Lancashire (Lonsdale)
    LANCASHIRE Lancashire is a large county in north-west of England, bordered by the sea to the west. The counties of Cumberland and Westmorland lie to the north, the West Riding of Yorkshire to the east, and Cheshire to the south. In the nineteenth century the county was transformed. It began as a mainly agricultural region but became an area with many large urban regions and a variety of industrial occupations. This transformation led to frequent changes in the administrative structure, both in the county-at-large and in the towns and cities. Because of the complex and changing structure, the information about weights and scales is presented here in six sections. The sections correspond geographically to the six ancient hundreds of the county, as shown in the map above. (The hundred of Lonsdale was divided naturally into two parts, North and South ‘of the Sands’, but it was administered as one unit.) It must be stressed that, although the administration of the county was based on these geographical areas, the individual hundreds did not have independent jurisdiction. 1 The hundred of LONSDALE in Lancashire Lonsdale is the most northerly of the six hundreds of Lancashire. At Morecambe Bay it is divided into two parts, often referred to as North and South ‘of the Sands’. In 1834 inspectors were appointed for the North and South divisions, based in Ulverston and Lancaster. The county police force took over responsibility in 1845. The growth of Barrow- in-Furness led to the establishment of a new Barrow division in 1875. In 1890 a police officer who had qualified as an inspector of weights and measures was appointed to cover both parts of the hundred.
