Creation and successors
This seat was set out contingently by the Parliamentary Constituencies (Ilford and Woodford) Order 1960 from the calling of the next general election, which proved to be 1964.[1] The Order adjusted the boundaries of Ilford North, Ilford South and Woodford (renamed Wanstead and Woodford), reflecting those of the boroughs in 1956.
This was the only boundary change (of any constituencies) between the general elections of 1955 and February 1974.[citation needed]
The seat until 1974 was almost identical to its forerunner Woodford (that is, had very minor boundary changes).[citation needed]
enlarge Ilford North (Bridge, Clayhall and Roding wards).[2]
Proposals to resurrect the seat existed in the Boundary Commission review published on 13 September 2011.[3] If agreed, this would consist of wards Monkhams, Bridge, Church End, Roding, Snaresbrook and Wanstead with the return of Clayhall and the addition of Cranbrook and Valentines in Redbridge to the east of the A406 trunk road.
