Cheadle Bulkeley covered the rural area that includes parts of modern-day Cheadle.
It was bordered to the west by Stockport Etchells, to the north by Heaton Norris, to the east by Stockport and to the south by Cheadle Moseley and Bramhall.
A 19th century map shows Cheadle Bulkeley in two separate parts, with a northern spur of Cheadle Moseley cutting it in half.[1]

Cheadle Bulkeley existed as a township from the Middle Ages until 1894, when it was merged with the townships of Cheadle Moseley and Stockport Etchells to form the Cheadle and Gatley Urban District, finally becoming part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport in 1974.[2]
