Where are the archives of the old Councils, abolished in 1974 and 1996?


The North East Lincolnshire Archives in Grimsby Town Hall holds the minutes and many other records of the abolished Borough, Urban Districts (UDC) and Rural Districts (RDC) in North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire.

They include Barton UDC, Brigg UDC, Cleethorpes borough, Glanford Brigg RDC, Grimsby borough, Grimsby RDC, Roxby-with-Risby RDC, Scunthorpe UDC and Scunthorpe borough, Winterton UDC, and the four Humberside Borough Councils (1974-96) of Cleethorpes, Glanford, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.

Records of the Isle of Axholme RDC are held at East Riding of Yorkshire Archives in Beverley. Records of Crowle Town Council were transferred to the North East Lincolnshire Archives in 2011. (For records of old Lincolnshire authorities outside North and North East Lincolnshire try the Lincolnshire Archives in Lincoln).
