| Administrative History | Wilmslow Urban District Council was established in 1895. Previously it had been governed by Wilmslow Local Board formed in 1878 from the urban portions of Bollin Fee, Fulshaw and Pownall Fee townships. In 1936, the boundaries were extended to include most of Styal civil parish (formed from the rural portions of Pownall Fee in 1895) and Handforth civil parish (and urban district from 1904). In 1974 it amalgamated with several neighbouring urban and rural district councils to form the new Macclesfield Borough Council. [See: LDM list for post-1974 records]. |
