There are a number of articles on mock corporations or mock elections in the Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire. The following list gives the date of publication the volume number and the place referred to. The number of items in this one journal suggests that there may be an extensive literature on this subject in other county and regional historical societies publications. I am not aware that any of these corporations still exist.
1850 v.3 Newcastle under Lyne
1851 v.4 Liverpool
1880 v.33 Sephton (to the north of Liverpool)
1881 v.34 Sephton
1888 v 40 Rochdale
1915 v.67 Farnworth (near Widnes)
1948 v.100 Sephton
