The report describes the boundaries as "Commencing at a point where Rose Lane meets the railway, thence northwestwards along said railway to Penny Lane, thence northeastwards along said lane to Smithdown Road, thence northwestwards along said road to the eastern boundary of Picton Ward, thence northwards along said boundary to the southern boundary of Old Swan Ward, thence eastwards along said boundary to Mill Lane, thence southwards along said lane to Leverell Road, thence northeastwards along said road to the road known as Northway, thence southwards along said road and the road known as South Way to Thingwall Road, thence generally southwestwards along said road to Childwall Road, thence southeastwards along said road to Beauclair Drive, thence southeastwards along said drive to Dunbabin Road, thence southwestward along said road to Woolton Road, thence southeastwards along said road to Gipsy Lane, thence southwards along said lane to Druids Cross Road, thence southwestwards along said road crossing Menlove Avenue, to Calderstones Road, thence generally westwards and southwestwards along said road and Rose Lane to the point of commencement".[2]

The ward boundaries followed Penny Lane, Heathfield Road, Woolton Road, Cromptons Lane, Menlove Avenue, Yew Tree Road, Booker Avenue, and the West Coast Main Line[3]
