Abolition
The Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London considered the district for inclusion in Greater London and in 1965 Hornchurch Urban District was abolished by the London Government Act 1963. Its former area was transferred to Greater London from Essex and was combined with that of the Municipal Borough of Romford to form the present-day London Borough of Havering. In 1993 some of the eastern sections of the former urban district around Great Warley were transferred back to Essex.

Famous quotes containing the word abolition:
“We Abolition Women are turning the world upside down.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“... this nation is rotten at the heart, and ... nothing but the most tremendous blows with the sledge-hammer of abolition truth, could ever have broken the false rest which we had taken up for ourselves on the very brink of ruin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
