[edit] Summary

The Urmston Official Guide, from a late 1960s publication by the now defunct Urmston Urban District Council.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Urmston
Description	The coat of arms of Urmston Urban District Council before its abolition in 1974. The chevron and martlets are from the heraldry of the local families of Ashawe and Hyde, and the griffin, with a change in colour, is from the arms of the de Traffords. The oak tree alludes to the preservation of the rural aspect of the area, while the anvil and waves refer to industry, the River Mersey and the Ship Canal. The squirrel is from the heraldry of the De Orneston family and the balance is an emblem of St. Michael, to whom the parish church is dedicated. The motto, “SALUS POPULI SUPREMA EST LEX”, means ‘the welfare of the people is the highest law’.
