Manchester South was one of six parliamentary constituencies created in 1885 by the division of the Parliamentary Borough of Manchester, England. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected by the first-past-the-post voting system. The constituency was abolished in 1918.
Boundaries
The constituency was created by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, and consisted of the following areas:[1]
- The part of the civil parish of Chorlton upon Medlock south of the centres of the following roads: Cavendish Street, Grosvenor Street, Upper Brook Street, Dover Street, St. Leonards Street. (The remainder of the parish was included in the Manchester East constituency.)
- The Local Government district of Moss Side
- The Local Government District of Rusholme
- The detached part of the parish of Gorton included within the former parliamentary borough.
- The Hamlet of Kirkmanshulme (a detached part of the parish of Newton).
Redistribution
The seat was abolished in 1918, when the Representation of the People Act redrew constituencies throughout Great Britain and Ireland. Manchester's representation was increased to ten members of parliament, and the former Manchester South was divided between the areas of the new Moss Side and Rusholme constituencies.[2]
