History

New Brentford, Old Brentford and Chiswick were originally Civil parishes in the Harde ( hundred ) Ossulstone. 1874, a local health council was (local board of health ) created with competencies in infrastructure for the whole of Brentford. For this the following year an urban health district ( urban sanitary district ) emerged with enhanced powers. 1883 Chiswick was also awarded this status. Both health districts reconstituted in 1894 as the Urban District. This 1927 again joined forces and formed a joint Municipal Borough.
