Everything about Municipal Borough Of Southall totally explained
Southall (until 1936
Southall Norwood) was a local government district in the county of
Middlesex,
United Kingdom from 1891 to 1965. It consisted of the civil parish of
Norwood.
Southall Norwood Local Government District was created on
January 16 1891, when the parish of Norwood adopted the
Local Government Act 1858. The district was governed by a
local board.
The
Local Government Act 1894 reconstituted the local board's area as an
urban district. Southall-Norwood Urban District Council, consisting of 14 elected councillors, replaced the local board. In 1936 the urban district was granted a charter of incorporation and became a
municipal borough at the same time renamed
Southall. Southall Borough Council consisted of a
mayor, 6
aldermen and 18 councillors. The old district name survives in the names of institutions such as the Southall Norwood Hospital.
The borough was abolished in 1965 by the
London Government Act 1963 and its area now forms part of the present-day
London Borough of Ealing.
The borough was granted a
coat of arms on incorporation in 1936. The design featured thorn trees alluding to the old
Spelthorne Hundred and the 'south holt' and the 'north wood' commemorated in the name Southall-Norwood. The dexter
supporter was a red
griffin, a device used by the
London Passenger Transport Board. This, together with the motto
For All (a translation of the
Latin "omnibus") referred to the fact that the factory of
AEC, manufacturer of the LPTB's buses was in the borough. Southall's other industries were illustrated in the crest above the shield: wheat-ears for food processing and flaming torches for gas and electricity production.
