Ripon and Pately Bridge was a rural district in the West Riding of Yorkshire , England from the late 1930s to 1974.
It was created in the late 1930s by a County Review Order, by a merger of the Ripon Rural District and the Pateley Bridge Rural District.[1]
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, being merged with other districts to form the Harrogate district of North Yorkshire.[2]
