From 1918 the constituency consisted of "That portion of the city which is bounded by a line commencing at a point on the municipal boundary about 299 yards north-westward from the centre of Carntyne Road, at a point where the municipal boundary intersects that road, thence eastward, south-eastward and westward along the municipal boundary to the centre of the Caledonian Railway Branch Line from Rutherglen to Dalmarnock, thence northward along the centre line of the said railway until it, joins the Caledonian Railway (Glasgow Lines), thence northward, north-eastward, northward and north-eastward along the centre line of the last-mentioned railway to a point 380 yards south of the centre line of Cumbernauld Road, thence south-eastward to the point, of commencement."
The Representation of the People Act 1948 provided that the constituency was to consist of the Parkhead, Shettleston and Tollcross wards of the City of Glasgow, and that part of Mile-End ward which is not included in the Glasgow Camlachie constituency. That description was repeated in the Parliamentary Constituencies (Scotland) (Glasgow Bridgeton, Glasgow Provan and Glasgow Shettleston) Order, 1955[1]. The description was again repeated in the Parliamentary Constituencies (Scotland) Order 1970[2] except by then the remaining portion of the Mile-End ward was part of the Glasgow Bridgeton constituency.
