Parishes
The rural district originally consisted of seven parishes:
- Alt
- Bardsley
- Crossbank
- Hartshead
- Little Moss
- Waterloo
- Woodhouses
Six of the parishes formed an area bounded to the north by Failsworth and Oldham and to the south by Ashton-under-Lyne, Mossley and Droylsden. The parish of Crossbank formed an exclave, lying to the north of Lees Urban District.
