The first (English) Public Health Act was passed in 1848 (11 & 12 Vict. c. 63); this was an adoptive Act not applying to London, and forms the foundation of modern sanitary legislation.

This Act has been since amended and extended by subsequent statutes. The latest is the Public Health Act, 1936 (26 Geo. 5 and 1 Edw. 8, c. 49), which, as from 1st October, 1937, consolidates many of the provisions of earlier legislation, without, however, repealing parts of the Public Health Acts of 1875, 1890, 1907 and 1925. The Act repeals and replaces among other enact-ments and as from various dates respectively provided by the Act: the whole of the Baths and Wash-houses A...
