Tynemouth and North Shields (UK Parliament constituency)


Tynemouth and North Shields was a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom between 1832 and 1885. It elected one Member of Parliament by the first-past-the-post system of election.

Boundaries

The constituency was based upon the communities of Tynemouth and North Shields, in the part of the historic county of Northumberland which has been in Tyne and Wear.
Tynemouth was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1849 under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. The borough covered the whole area east of Wallsend and south of Whitley Bay, including the less historic but more economically significant town of North Shields as well as smaller villages such as New York and Cullercoats.
From 1885 approximately the same area as the Tynemouth and North Shields constituency comprised a seat named Tynemouth.
