I don't know if it's still so but Todmorden used to have the border through the middle of the town. Half of it was in Lancashire and half in Yorkshire.

The county thing happened in 1974 when Warrington suddenly bounced from Lancashire to Cheshire. I don't think either Warrington or Cheshire was very happy. My village, which had always been administered by Altrincham, came under Warrington from then on but a mile up the road from here the next village now comes under Macclesfield. Crazy!
