Blyth Rural District existed in the historic county of Suffolk and the administrative county of East Suffolk from 1934 until 1974. It was created from three other rural districts which were abolished in 1934, namely: Blything Rural District, Hoxne Rural District and Plomesgate Rural District. At the same time Leiston cum Sizewell Urban District gave up 704 acres to Blyth Rural District.

When rural districts were replaced by district municipalities in 1974, the whole of Blyth Rural District became the southern part of Suffolk Coastal District.

Research Tips

  • A map of Suffolk from 1900 provided online by A Vision of Britain Through Time (University of Portsmouth Department of Geography) can be enlarged to view individual parishes. Careful inspection will usually lead to the discovery of smaller hamlets founded before 1900. The rural districts (marked with their names printed in blue) are those in existence in 1900, not those introduced in 1934. The more ancient hundreds are marked in red. Most (but not all) parish names are underlined in red.
