• Source: Birmingham Bordesley (UK Parliament constituency)

Birmingham Bordesley was a borough constituency in the city of Birmingham, which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Elections were held using the first-past-the-post voting system.
The constituency was created upon the abolition of the multi-member Birmingham seat in 1885 and abolished in 1918.




Boundaries


Before 1885 Birmingham, in the county of Warwickshire, had been a three-member constituency (see Birmingham (UK Parliament constituency) for further details). Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 the parliamentary borough of Birmingham was split into seven single-member divisions, one of which was Birmingham Bordesley. It consisted of the wards of Bordesley and St Bartholomew's.
The division was located in the south-east corner of the city, within its boundaries in 1885. To the west was Birmingham South, to the north Birmingham East, to the east Tamworth and to the south East Worcestershire.
In the 1918 redistribution of parliamentary seats, the Representation of the People Act 1918 provided for twelve new Birmingham divisions. The Bordesley division was abolished.
