Welcome to the HARROW ELECTION RESULTS web site. It is my hope that it becomes a primary source of electoral data for the area now administered by the London Borough of Harrow.

 


The periods covered are:

1894-1933:  Harrow-on-the-Hill Urban District, Wealdstone Urban District, Kingsbury Urban District, Hendon Rural District and the Civil Parishes of Pinner, Harrow Weald, Great Stanmore, Little Stanmore and Edgware.


1934-1953:  Harrow Urban District.*

1954-1963:  The Municipal Borough of Harrow.* 

1964-1977:  The London Borough of Harrow.

1978-2001:  The London Borough of Harrow.

2002-2021:  The London Borough of Harrow.

2022-2024:  The London Borough of Harrow.


The information and data presented on this site have been accumulated as a result of intermittent research over a period of more than 40 years and, in the early years, were occasionally published in the Harrow area in the form of short print-run booklets. Between publication dates I frequently corrected, revised and added to the contents. Through the medium of the internet I can now make this information available to a wider audience of historians, researchers and political 'anoraks'.


Within each year group section are summary pages leading to downloadable files, usually in Adobe pdf format, that give access to the pages from the original or updated books. It will be noticed that I have relied upon the style of presentation used by the late F.W.S. Craig in his scholarly series of books, British Parliamentary Election Results. No apologies for that - in my opinion it is the clearest way of setting out consecutive results for the same electoral area.

In addition, a selection of historic images, election addresses and leaflets from my collection are included. They can be viewed by clicking on the links from pages that list the available images. I would welcome the opportunity of including images from other sources if they are sent to me - either as jpeg/png files or as originals for me to scan before carefully returning.

Shortly before my 18th birthday in 1975 I joined the Labour Party,  remaining a member until early 2017 (but rejoining at the end of 2019); it will be realised, therefore, that I am someone with strong political opinions. Nevertheless, I have always endeavoured to present the information in my books and on this web site dispassionately and without bias.

 

All the electoral data on the site is held for archiving, historical and research purposes in the public interest as provided for by the Data Protection Act 1998. Please feel free to use it for any purpose you wish, however I would be grateful if the source was acknowledged. If you come across a broken link, or have any corrections, suggestions or observations, then please send me an email to:
