Erith and Crayford (UK Parliament constituency)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erith and Crayford was a parliamentary constituency in the London Borough of Bexley, south-east London.

It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1955 until it was abolished for the 1997 general election.

It was then partly replaced by the new Erith & Thamesmead constituency, and partly by the new Bexleyheath & Crayford constituency.
