Barton-upon-Irwell was, from 1894 to 1933, a rural district in the administrative county of Lancashire, England.
History
The rural district was created by the Local Government Act 1894 as successor to Barton-upon-Irwell Rural Sanitary District, formed in 1875. In 1920 the boundary of the district was adjusted to reflect a change in county boundaries, and it exchanged areas with Bucklow Rural District, Cheshire.F A Youngs Jr., Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England, Vol. II: Northern England, London, 1991
Civil parishes and boundaries
The rural district consisted of four civil parishes:
The district formed two distinct areas: to the south the parishes of Barton Moss, Davyhulme and Flixton were surrounded to the north by Worsley Urban District and the Borough of Eccles; to the east by the County Borough of Salford; to the south by Urmston Urban District and by the boundary with Cheshire and to the west by Irlam Urban District. The parish of Clifton was a detached exclave to the north adjacent to the urban districts of Kearsley and Swinton and Pendlebury.{{cite web |url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/bound_map_page.jsp?first=true&u_id=10199219&c_id=10001043 |title=Barton upon Irwell RD: Historical Boundaries |accessdate=2008-08-17 |work=Vision of Britain |publisher=University of Portsmouth}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}
Abolition
The rural district was abolished on 1 April 1933. Two county review orders: the Lancashire (Manchester and district) Review Order and the Lancashire (Southern Areas) Review Order transferred the district's area to four neighbouring towns: Barton Moss passed to the Borough of Eccles, Clifton to Kearsley Urban District, Davyhulme to Stretford Urban District and Flixton to Urmston Urban District.{{cite web |url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10199219&c_id=10001043 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120918110203/http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10199219&c_id=10001043 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-09-18 |title=Relationships / unit history of Barton upon Irwell |accessdate=2008-08-17 |work=Vision of Britain |publisher=University of Portsmouth }}
