THESE RECORDS SHOULD BE ORDERED AT LEAST A WEEK IN ADVANCE OF AN INTENDED VISIT SO THAT THEY CAN BE BROUGHT INTO THE RECORD OFFICE FOR CONSULTATION IN THE SEARCH ROOM Administrative/Biographical history The Merthyr Tydfil Corporation Act of 1905 resulted in the formation of the municipal borough of Merthyr Tydfil. The elected borough council of thirty two members, one mayor and eight aldermen succeeded Merthyr Tydfil District Council. Each councillor was elected for a term of three years and the mayor annually. The borough was divided into 8 wards; Cyfarthfa, Dowlais, Park, Town, Penydarren, Plymouth, Merthyr Vale and Treharris each of which elected an alderman for a term of six years. The borough took over the responsibilities of the District Council for public health, water, sewerage, isolation hospitals, highways, housing, bridges, scavenging and public elementary schools. In 1908 the borough was granted county borough status and undertook the additional responsibilities of the police, Commission of the Peace, Court of Quarter Sessions and powers to control secondary education. To enable the borough to carry out these functions the council was empowered to levy rates. In 1974 following local government reorganisation Merthyr Tydfil Borough lost its county borough status, although it retained its borough status and mayor. The district council replaced the old borough council within the new county of Mid Glamorgan, and responsibility for education, highways, planning, fire and ambulance services was transferred to this authority. The area of the district council was extended to include Vaynor and Bedlinog. © Glamorgan Record Office MERTHYR TYDFIL BOROUGH BMT Scope and content Merthyr Tydfil Borough records include minutes 1904-1973; Education Department letterbooks, correspondence, reports and memorandums re staffing, applications for posts, accounts, regulations, circulars, newspaper cuttings; Treasurers Department ledgers, journals, epitome of accounts and financial statement cash books, Board of Health maps, 1851-1852, Medical Officer of Health registers; Children's Department registers 1951-1969; Welfare Services register of inmates and homes 1942-1962 Appraisal, destruction and scheduling information All records offered have been accepted and listed Conditions governing access Items containing information on named Individuals may be restricted in accordance with the Data Protection Act and Record Office policy Conditions governing reproduction Normal Glamorgan Record Office conditions apply.

The Strategy identifies locally important open spaces, sets the standards for different types of open space and establishes the need for further types of open space. Shortfalls in accessibility, quantity and quality have been established through the application of the standards which can be found in Section 2 of the Open Space Strategy2. 1.2 The Action Plans consider the three standards (Quantity, Quality and Accessibility) at Ward level and identify a series of priority sites where, with the inclusion of additional types of open space within existing provision, need might be fulfilled.

  • Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA
    Baby Graves: Infant Mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865-1908. Linda Beresford BA (Hons) Murd. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in accordance with the requirements of Murdoch University (School of Social Sciences and Humanities), Perth, Western Australia, June, 2006 i I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................... (Your name) ii Abstract The thesis examines the problem of infant mortality in Merthyr Tydfil 1865- 1908. In particular it investigates why Merthyr Tydfil, an iron, steel and coal producing town in south Wales, experienced high infant mortality rates throughout the nineteenth century which rose by the end of the century despite sixty years of public health reforms. The historiography of infant mortality in nineteenth-century Britain includes few Welsh studies although the south Wales Coalfield played an important part in industrial and demographic change in Britain during the second half of the nineteenth century. The thesis argues that conditions of industrial development shaped the social, economic and public health experience in Merthyr, ensnaring its citizens in social disadvantage, reflected in the largely unacknowledged human toll among mothers and babies in that process. The thesis analyses the causes of over 17, 000 infant deaths in Merthyr Tydfil from the primary evidence of an unusually complete series of Medical Officer of Health Reports to identify the principal attributed causes of infant death and explain their social origins and context. The thesis examines the work of Dr.

Administrative history Poor law unions were established by the Poor Law (Amendment) Act of 1834, which provided for parishes (which until then had each individually provided poor relief for their own inhabitants) to be grouped together into unions. In each union a board of guardians was to be elected to be responsible for the administration of poor relief, with paid officials appointed to carry out the day to day work. Funding of relief was to continue on the same basis as before the Act, i.e. by means of poor rates, paid by all householders, and collected by the parish overseers. Relief to able-bodied applicants, and some non-able bodied, was to be available only in the workhouse, where conditions were to be such as to deter all but the genuinely destitute; however, outdoor relief (payment in money or in kind to individuals in their own homes) was allowed for the non-able bodied in certain circumstances.
