Notes

End date in Cheffins given as 1948, however the voting statistics in Craig together with the circumstantial evidence in given on maps around this time suggest that the boundaries of the divisions in Leeds where re-drawn in 1918 to abolish this unit and create Leeds South East & Leeds North East. Unit edited accordingly.
