    • Abercromby ward was an electoral division of Liverpool City Council.


    Background


    The ward was originally created in 1835, its boundaries were changed in 1953, merged with St James ward in 1974 and was recreated in 1980 before being dissolved in 2004.


    = 1835 boundaries

    =
    The ward was created in 1835 as an original ward of Liverpool Town Council under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. This was the first democratically elected council replacing the previous Liverpool Common Council. Three councillors were returned to the council by Abercromby Ward.
    By 1860 the ward boundary commenced from London Road at its junction with Norton Street and Seymour Street, proceeding eastwards along Pembroke Place, thereafter southeastwards along Crown Street to its junction with Falkner Street, westwards along said street to Hope Street, proceeding northwards to Mount Pleasant, thereafter westwards towards Clarence Street, continuing along Russell Street and Seymour Street to the point of commencement.
    From 1835 to 1885 the ward was part of the Liverpool Parliamentary constituency, from 1885 to 1918 part of the Liverpool Abercromby Parliamentary constituency, and from 1918 to its dissolution part of the Liverpool Exchange Parliamentary constituency.


    = 1980 boundaries

    =
    The ward boundary was changed for the 1980 elections. A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Abercromby ward was represented by three councillors.
    The report describes the boundaries of Tuebrook ward as "Commencing at a point where the western boundary of the City meets the southern boundary of Everton Ward, thence northeastwards along said ward boundary to Russell Street, thence southwards along said street to Brownlow
    Hill, thence eastwards along said hill to Crown Street, thence southeastwards along said street and in prolongation thereof to Upper Parliament Street, thence westwards along said street to Windsor Street, thence southeastwards along said street to Northumberland Street, thence southwestwards along said street and in
    prolongation thereof to the western boundary of the City, thence northwestwards along said boundary to the point of commencement".
    From 1980 to 1983 the ward was part of the Liverpool Exchange Parliamentary constituency, and from 1983 to its dissolution was part of the Liverpool Riverside Parliamentary constituency.

    A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission published in March 2003 recommended the number of wards in the city be reduced to 30 and the number of councillors reduced to 90. The Abercromby ward was dissolved and distributed into the new Riverside and Princes Park wards.
