For Poor Law purposes the parish forms part of the
Brentford Union, and for Parliamentary purposes it is within the
Ealing Division of Middlesex.
For municipal purposes the district is divided into four
wards, North-East, North-West, South-East and South-West.
Prior to 1906 the district was divided into three wardsNorth,
West and East. The North Ward comprised all that
portion of the district north of the centre of the High Street.
The West Ward comprised that portion of the district
north of the centre of the High Street from Birch Grove to the
Railway Bridge, High Street, and west of the North London
Railway, from the Railway Bridge, High Street, to Bollo Lane.
The East Ward consisted of that part of the district south
of the centre of Uxbridge Road from the Railway Bridge to
Wilton Road and east of the North London Railway from the
Railway Bridge, High Street, to Bollo Lane.
In 1905, the district had developed to such an extent, and
in such a manner, that a re-distribution of the parish into four
wards was deemed necessary.
The North-East was bounded by a line commencing at the
northern boundary of the district in Willesden Lane, and
continuing along the centre of Willesden Lane, Horn Lane,
Acacia Road. Cumberland Road, Grove Road, Acton Lane (past
the Priory Schools), Petersfield Road to the North and Southwestern
Junction Railway to the boundary of the parish at the
south-east corner of the Sewage Works, and thence along the
boundary of the district in a northerly, easterly, northerly and
westerly direction to the point in Willesden Lane first named.
The North-West Ward was bounded on the east by the
western boundary of the North-East Ward from Willesden Lane
to Avenue Road. The boundary line between it and the SouthWest
Ward ran along the centre of Avenue Road and Gunnersbury
Lane to Bollo Bridge.
