I had to visit the City Archives and rummage around on all sorts of websites to find all the information I needed. Click the link below to open the spreadsheet.

Above is a graph I knocked together also to show the trends in party popularity over the years. I've included the parties who consistently get a fair number of votes otherwise the graph would be very clunky and hard to read.
It's important to bear in mind that these numbers and graph don't represent the entire council because of the one-third electoral system uesd by many unitary authorites like Stoke-on-Trent (see my earlier blog post for further explanation). Instead they only display seats won at the specific election.

I've spent hours putting all the information together so hopefully someone out there will find it interesting!
