South Northumberland (UK Parliament constituency)


South Northumberland was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was represented by two Members of Parliament, elected by the intuitive first-past-the-post means where there is more than one member, considered the plurality-at-large bloc vote by global cephologists today.
The area was created by the Great Reform Act of 1832 by the splitting of Northumberland constituency into Northern and Southern divisions.
It was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, being divided into single member divisions: Berwick-upon-Tweed, Hexham, Tyneside and Wansbeck.
