[edit] Boundaries
In 1918 the constituency was created. It consisted of the County Borough of Middlesbrough wards of Acklam, Ayrsome, Cannon, Cleveland, Linthorpe, and Newport.
In the 1950 redistribution the Acklam, Ayresome, and Linthorpe wards remained in the seat and the Municipal Borough of Thornaby-on-Tees was added. The other Middlesbrough wards from this seat were transferred to Middlesbrough East.
In 1964 a local redistribution affecting Middlesbrough took effect. Four additional Middlesbrough wards were transferred from Middlesbrough East and added to the existing West constituency; namely Crescent, Gresham, Park, and Whinney Banks.
