Milton Keynes Urban Area
The Milton Keynes urban area or Milton Keynes Built-up Area is a designation established by the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics. Milton Keynes has no statutory boundary: the 1967 designated area only determined the area assigned to the Milton Keynes Development Corporation for development. The wider urban area outside that designation includes Newport Pagnell and Woburn Sands as well as Aspley Guise (Bedfordshire) and part of Stoke Hammond civil parish. At the 2021 census, the population of Milton Keynes's Built-up Area was 256,385, an increase of 11.5% over the figure of 229,941 recorded at the 2011 census. That in turn was an increase of almost 25% on the population recorded in the 2001 census of 184,506.

Walton, Milton Keynes
Walton (historically) was a hamlet that is now a district and civil parish in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. For local government purposes, it is part of the Danesborough and Walton electoral ward. The historic hamlet is located about four miles south of Central Milton Keynes and just east of Simpson, mostly along Walton Road in the modern Walnut Tree district. The modern H9 Groveway grid road severs a few of its houses into Walton Hall and the V10 Brickhill Street separates the Manor Farm off into the Walton grid square. The Manor Farm has been redeveloped, first into a research centre for Hoechst and subsequently as the UK headquarters of MSD Animal Health. The village name is a common one in England, and is an Old English language word, meaning either 'village of the Britons' (''wale'' being a word meaning Briton) or 'walled village'.

River Ouzel
The River Ouzel , also known as the River Lovat, is a river in England, and a tributary of the River Great Ouse. It rises in the Chiltern Hills and flows north to join the Ouse at Newport Pagnell. It is usually called the ''River Ouzel'', except near Newport Pagnell where both names are used. The name ''Lovat'' was recorded (in the form 'Lovente') in the thirteenth century, a map of 1724 marks the river as "Lowsel R", and a map surveyed in 1765 shows it as 'Ouzel River'. The modern Ordnance Survey uses only the name ''Ouzel'', except north of Willen Lake where it is marked as 'River Ouzel or Lovat'. Course From springs just north of Dagnall, the river initially forms the boundary between Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is joined by the Ouzel Brook from Houghton Regis, and by Whistle Brook (also known at Ivinghoe as ''Whizzle Brook'')F. G.

Newport Pagnell Rural District
Newport Pagnell was a rural district in the administrative county of Buckinghamshire, England, from 1894 to 1974, covering an area in the north-east of the county. History The district had its origins in the Newport Pagnell Poor Law Union, which had been created in 1835, covering Newport Pagnell itself and several surrounding parishes. In 1872 sanitary districts were established, giving public health and local government responsibilities for rural areas to the existing boards of guardians of poor law unions. The Newport Pagnell Rural Sanitary District was administered from Newport Pagnell Union Workhouse, which had been built in 1836 at 1 London Road in Newport Pagnell. Under the Local Government Act 1894, rural sanitary districts became rural districts from 28 December 1894. The Newport Pagnell Rural District Council held its first meeting on 2 January 1895 at the workhouse, when John Robert Wilmer was appointed the first chairman of the council.

Newport Pagnell Urban District
Newport Pagnell Urban District was a local government district in the administrative county of Buckinghamshire, England, from 1897 to 1974. Origins When parish and district councils were established in December 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894, the parish of Newport Pagnell was included in the Newport Pagnell Rural District, which was administered from the workhouse at 1 London Road in Newport Pagnell. Shortly after the new districts were established, the process began for making the parish of Newport Pagnell its own urban district, which came into effect on 1 October 1897. The short-lived Newport Pagnell Parish Council was therefore replaced by Newport Pagnell Urban District Council, which held its first meeting on 2 October 1897 at the town's Reading Room at 58 High Street, which had also been the meeting place of the parish council. William Rogers Chantler was appointed the first chairman of the council. Premises Within a couple of weeks of its creation, the new coun ...

Wolverton Urban District
Wolverton Urban District was a local government district in Buckinghamshire, England, from 1920 to 1974, covering the town of Wolverton and its environs, including the town of Stony Stratford. A district covering this area existed from 1894 to 1974, but was initially a rural district called Stratford and Wolverton Rural District. It was redesignated an urban district in 1919, briefly being called Stratford and Wolverton Urban District before being renamed Wolverton Urban District in 1920. History The Stratford and Wolverton Rural District had its origins in the Potterspury Poor Law Union, which had been created in 1835. The poor law union was mostly in Northamptonshire but included four parishes in Buckinghamshire. Poor law unions formed the basis for sanitary districts when they were created in 1872, with the area becoming the Potterspury Rural Sanitary District, administered by the board of guardians for the poor law union, which was based at the Union Workhouse in Yardley ...

Bletchley Urban District
Bletchley Urban District was an urban district covering the town of Bletchley in the administrative county of Buckinghamshire, England from 1911 to 1974. The district had been created in 1895 as Fenny Stratford Urban District, being renamed to Bletchley Urban District in 1911. History When district councils were established under the Local Government Act 1894, the small town of Fenny Stratford was not initially given its own district council, but was included in the Newport Pagnell Rural District. Prior to 1866, the town had straddled the parishes of Bletchley and Simpson. A Fenny Stratford parish had been created in 1866 from part of Bletchley parish, covering the main part of the Fenny Stratford urban area and also extending south-west from it to include Bletchley railway station and the associated urban area that was growing to the east of the railway station. The reduced Bletchley parish after 1866 therefore did not include the railway station which bore its name, but was in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
