A class of exact mathematical solutions describing distributed regions of uniform vorticity attached to two solid walls meeting at an angle $2\alpha$ is derived. Exterior to the uniform vorticity region the flow is quiescent and irrotational. The mathematical method used is a generalization of ideas original presented in Crowdy [4] combined with elements of conformal mapping theory associated with a differential equation method due to Polubarinova-Kochina traditionally applied in finding the solution to various free boundary problems.
