History
Tottenham Local Board of Health was originally established in 1831 to deal with a cholera outbreak but was disbanded in 1832. From 1850 a new board of health was set up under the Public Health Act of 1848. By 1860 it had taken over the work of lighting inspectors, highway surveyors and fire-fighting.
