The ‘places’ known as ‘The Inner and Middle Temples’ are within the City of London only for some purposes. They are not shown in Boundary-Line, but their areas have been wholly included within the city and its wards for this dataset. There are two distinct areas with other areas held jointly, and the boundaries are so intermixed that they have never been published by Ordnance Survey separately. A record of these boundaries is, however, held in the Boundary Record Library for reference purposes.
Divisions of parishes (England) and communities (Wales) not included in Boundary-Line.
These are areas where the limits of the parishes concerned have not been determined and the area itself is common to (or belongs to) two or more parishes. In Boundary-Line, they are classified as separate parishes with the name LANDS COMMON TO THE PARISHES OF… applied (sometimes abbreviated to LCPs…).
The boundary between Wirral metropolitan district in the former county of Merseyside and Cheshire West and Chester unitary authority in the former county of Cheshire and the Flintshire unitary authority area has not been determined, and the line adopted in Boundary-Line is for the purposes of Ordnance Survey only, so that polygons can be created.
Certain sections of the boundary between the former county of Merseyside (containing the metropolitan districts of Liverpool and Wirral), and in the former county of Cheshire, now Cheshire West and Chester, and Halton have never been determined.
For the purposes of Boundary-Line and by agreement with DCLG:
The district boundaries of those parts of Cheshire West and Chester that abut the Mersey estuary have been made coincident with the limits of the relevant district’s wards at the centre of the channel at high water (CCHW).
The undetermined part of the southern boundary of Liverpool district, in the Mersey estuary, has been made coincident with the limits of that district’s wards at the CCHW.
The undetermined part of the county boundary between the former county of Merseyside and the former county of Cheshire in that part of the estuary between the new Cheshire West and Chester and Liverpool has been made coincident with the limits of the wards at the CCHW.
The northern limit of the parliamentary constituency of Ellesmere Port and Neston is the mean high-water mark on the south side of the Mersey estuary.
These ‘wards’, which include the personal apartments of the Sovereign have no relevance to the election of councillors to electoral areas and are wholly included within the district of Windsor and Maidenhead and its wards.
