By the Chester and Derby Order, 1935 Whaley Bridge was transferred from Cheshire to Derbyshire and the new parish and urban district of Whaley Bridge was formed, comprising parts of the parishes of Yeardsley-cum-Whaley, Disley, Kettleshulme and Taxal, and Chapel-en-le-Frith and Fernilee. Local Boards of Health were first set up in 1848 to administer services which related to public health in populated areas not covered by Borough Councils.
