Series: County Borough Elections in England and Wales, 1919-1938

The volumes in this set of works come together to provide a comprehensive reference for the annual municipal elections that took place each November in the 83 county boroughs of England and Wales between 1919 ans 1938. They also provide an analysis of municipal politics in the same period, in terms of both individual borough and of aggregate patterns of political behaviour. These local elections occurred annually and so give the clearest record of how political opinion changed between general elections or the crisis period of 1929-31. Such records help to illuminate the impact of fringe parties such as the Communist Party and the British Union of Fascists. They also show the role of women in politics, the significance of religious and ethnic differentiation and the connection between occupational and class divisions and party allegiance. This particular volume covers the Bradford to Carlisle.

'The richness of the statistical information will undoubtedly provide an invaluable source for electoral historians of the period. But there is plenty to interest those with a more general interest in local government. A browse through the statistics reveals some interesting comparisons with the present day.' Local Government Studies '... historians now have the benefit of the rich empirical base supplied by Sam Davies and Bob Morley's comparative analyses of county borough elections ...'
