Parts Of Lincolnshire
The three parts of the English county of Lincolnshire are or were divisions of the second-largest county in England. Similar in nature to the three ridings of Yorkshire, they existed as local government units until commencement of the Local Government Act 1972. The three parts were: * Lindsey in the north, itself traditionally divided into three ridings (North, South and West); * Kesteven in the south-west; and *Holland in the south-east. The three parts touched in a tripoint somewhere near Chapel Hill. Each of the parts had long had separate county administration ( quarter sessions), and each was created a discrete administrative county with its own county council in 1889.

County Council

As the structure of local government in England is not uniform, there are currently four principal types of district-level subdivision. There are a total of districts made up of 36 metropolitan boroughs, 32 London boroughs, 164 two-tier non-metropolitan districts and 62 unitary authorities, as well as the City of London and the Isles of Scilly which are also districts but do not correspond to any of these other categories. Some districts are styled as cities, boroughs or royal boroughs; these are purely honorific titles and do not alter the status of the district or the powers of their councils.
