History

[edit]

The constituency was created when theHammersmith constituency was divided for the1918 general election.

In its early years the constituency regularly changed hands between Labour and the Conservatives, but it was a Labour seat from a by-election in 1934 until its abolition in 1983.

The constituency shared boundaries with theHammersmith North electoral division for election of councillors to the Greater London Council at elections in 1973, 1977 and 1981.

It was abolished for the1983 general election when it was partly replaced by a newHammersmith constituency.

The original boundaries were used until the1950 general election. The wards of the metropolitan borough had been redrawn since 1918, and the seat was redefined by theRepresentation of the People Act 1948 as comprising six wards: College Park & Latimer, Coningham, Old Oak, Starch Green,White City and Wormholt.^[1]

TheHouse of Commons (Redistribution of Seats) Act 1949 allowed for periodic reviews of constituency boundaries. Seats in the twometropolitan boroughs of Hammersmith andFulham were redrawn prior to the1955 general election.
