UK Parliamentary Constituencies (since 1885)

I am pleased to announce that the website has been updated with all the remaining constituency groups. So, the current phase of the parlconst project is now complete until the next boundary reviews (due by 2033), subject to any (expected) corrections. parlconst.org

@MarriottNigel @BritainElects @ElectionMapsUK @UKParliament Liverpool Walton 1885-1918 had nothing in common with its same named successors, nor did Newcastle-upon-Tyne North 1918-1983.

I love this! The seat of Bruce in Australia is no longer in the same place as it was 30 years ago. Does anyone know of an equivalent seat in the UK? @BritainElects @ElectionMapsUK @UKParliament @parlconst

I have decided that I will no longer in future be posting on Twitter. So please follow along on Bluesky instead (same parlconst username).

Time to reveal the final pair: Handsworth (1885-1918) and Wandsworth (1885-1918). Thanks to everyone who played along.

The penultimate pair: Bolton (1885-1950) and Boston (1885-1918). Just one more to go.

In compiling the index for the website I've noticed that some constituency names since 1885 can be changed into another by changing one letter. For example, Malton (which doesn't count, as since 1885 its been Thirsk & Malton) could be changed to Halton, Maldon or Melton. (1/3)

@FrGary1 Glad you like it. I think I am on the verge of leaving Twitter. I can be found with same username at Bluesky, where this puzzle is receiving far more responses than from Twitter.

@parlconst I have been hating Twitter lately… this sort of content however is just what is required!
