Blofield and East and West Flegg Rural Districts were adjacent rural districts in Norfolk , England from 1894 to 1935.[ 1] [ 2]
They were formed under the Local Government Act 1894 based on rural sanitary districts of the same names, and lay between Norwich and Great Yarmouth . East and West Flegg RD included a detached portion, itself an outlying part of Runham parish.
In 1935 the two districts, with very minor changes around Great Yarmouth, were merged to form Blofield and Flegg Rural District .[ 3]
In 1974, the merged district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 , and became mainly part of the Broadland district, with a small part being added to the Borough of Great Yarmouth .
