Marple Urban District Council

This came into being in 1894, essentially replacing Marple Township and Local Board. In 1936 Mellor and Ludworth, formerly in Derbyshire were transferred to Marple Urban District as was a small part of Hazel Grove and Bramhall U.D. As with the other Urban Districts which became part of Stockport Metropolitan Borough in 1974, most of the surviving records were deposited in the archives but are only preliminarily listed.
