Custodial history:
Following the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act, the township of Urmston joined the Chorlton-upon-Medlock Union in 1841. In 1849 the Barton-upon Irwell Union was constituted and Urmston was included in its boundaries. It was one of the last of the Lancashire Unions to be created. With the enactment of the Public Health Act, 1872, Urmston became part of the area of the Barton-upon-Irwell Rural Sanitary Authority, which was co-extensive with its parent Union.In 1894, under the Local Government Act, an order was made by Lancashire County Council, and confirmed by the then Local Government Board, creating the township of Urmston a separate Urban District and constituting the civil parishes of Flixton and Davyhulme, together with the townships of Clifton and Barton Moss, a rural district, thereafter known as the Rural District of Barton-upon Irwell. The first meetings of the Urban and Rural District Councils took place on the 31st December 1894 and 9th January 1895, respectively.In 1933, the Lancashire, Manchester and District Review Order of that year amalgamated the then Urban District of Urmston, comprising the township of Urmston only, with two parts of the Rural District of Barton-upon-Irwell, namely the parish of Flixton and most of the parish of Davyhulme. The order came into operation on the 1st April 1933, and by it, the Urban District and ancient township of Urmston, as then existing, was amalgamated with the township and ancient ecclesiastical parish of Flixton and all but a small part of Davyhulme.On 1 April 1974, following another and wider amalgamation that of the Boroughs of Altrincham, Sale and Stretford, the Urban Districts of Bowdon, Hale and Urmston and parts of the Rural District of Bucklow were amalgamated to form the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford in the newly formed metropolitan county of Greater Manchester.
