For administrative purposes the District is divided into
East and West Wards.
The division of the Wards is an imaginary line, which
begins in the, centre of the road outside Waxlow Farm entrance,
down North Road to Uxbridge Road, thence to the "Three
Horseshoes" Beerhouse, down South Road, over Station
Bridge, and on by St. John's Church, along Western Road, by
"Halfway House" Beerhouse, and on until opposite the
"Prince of Wales," where the line leaves the road and goes to
rear of the two cottages opposite, and again joins the road
immediately after passing over Canal Bridge, and thence on to
Watersplash.
All to the left of the line is East Ward, and all to the right
West Ward.
