432 series

Documents are closed for 30 years from the last date of a document, unless a longer closure is specified for a series or file

The records which were deposited, in or before 1974, by the predecessor borough and district councils were initially organised in the Record Office in collections for each of those authorities and each of the authorities abolished in 1934. In 2003 they were assimilated into the collection of records deposited from 1974 onwards by Lewes District Council. The former references are given in the body of the catalogue at file level.

Concordance of old and new references for records relisted in 2003 and, in a few cases, at earlier dates

Lewes District was constituted with effect from 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. It extends over the area of four local authorities abolished from that date: Chailey Rural District, Lewes Borough, Newhaven Urban District and Seaford Urban District. Lewes had been incorporated in 1881, and the three districts were established in 1894.

The four constituent authorities had themselves absorbed three other authorities, all established in 1894. In 1898 Lewes Rural District was absorbed into Chailey RD, and West Firle Rural District was split between Chailey RD, Eastbourne RD and Hailsham RD. Part of Newhaven Rural District was absorbed by Brighton County Borough in 1928 and the remainder partitioned amongst Chailey RD, Newhaven UD and Seaford UD in 1934, when Chailey RD ceded some parishes to Lewes Borough.

The pattern formed in 1894 was based on the seven predecessor Sanitary Districts: Chailey Rural, West Firle Rural and Lewes Rural, all established in 1872, Lewes Urban, Newhaven Rural and Newhaven Urban in 1881 and Seaford Urban in 1883. The Sanitary Districts were generally co-terminous with the Poor Law Unions established under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834.
