If anyone wishes to look at these events in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact Linda Webb through Hoole History and Heritage Society. Further information can be made available by e-mail in response to specific inquiries.

When the Local Board ‘petitioned’ its proposal to include “that part of the Township of Newton-by-Chester which lies between the Hoole Road and the Cheshire Lines Railway” within an extended boundary, it was responded to by the owners and occupiers of all houses and land in the part of Newton-by-Chester affected by the Hoole Local Board petition.
The owners and occupiers of the houses and the land in Newton by Chester who were affected, met in the Ermine Pub in on Tuesday 6th February 1894 under the Chairmanship of Charles Brown. The meeting decided to present its own petition.
The County Council, at its meeting at Chester Castle on 15th March 1894, nevertheless concluded that Hoole Local Board had made a ‘prima facie’ case for altering its boundary.
