The three stags' heads on the chevron are from the arms of the Earls of Derby and the three mural crowns from the arms of the Bootle family. The fleurs-de-lis, with colour reversed, are found in the arms of the Linacres of Yorkshire.  
The shield is emblematic of the history of Chadderton incorporating in its design emblems from the manorial families. The Griffins are from the arms of the de Trafford and Chadderton families, the black bendlets are from the Radcliffe arms, from the Assheton family comes the black mullet. The two red roses represent the Horton family and the County of Lancaster.


The use of a lighthouse as a crest is rare, and indicates the borough's position at the mouth of the River Mersey.  
The crest symbolises industrial history, retaining from the old device the anvil and shuttle to represent the engineering and textile industries, and incorporating an eagle to represent the more recent aircraft industry in British Aerospace.
