[5] The township included the hamlets of Timbersbrook, Key Green, Crossley and Havannah, plus the Cheshire side of the hill called the Cloud.

[8] The council was responsible for quite a large geographical area, greater in size than the borough of Congleton at that time, but smaller in population and in buildings.

Most of the 2,580 acres which comprised the parish and urban district of Buglawton was used for dairy farming and the council's area was generally more rural than industrial.

The bulk of the population, however, lived and worked in the built-up area of Buglawton adjacent to the River Dane, immediately adjoining Congleton.

[9] Buglawton Urban District was abolished in 1936, being absorbed into the borough of Congleton, save for a couple of minor boundary adjustments with Eaton and North Rode.
