Tynemouth and North Shields (UK Parliament constituency)

The seat was created by the Reform Act 1832 under the name of Tynemouth.{{Cite web |title=Representation of the People Act 1832 |url=https://vlex.co.uk/vid/representation-of-the-people-861202593 |access-date=2022-09-13 |website=vLex |at=S-IV |language=en}} However, in the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 1832, it is referred to as Tynemouth and North Shields.{{Cite book |last=Britain |first=Great |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Uq0uAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA300 |title=The Statutes of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Passed in the ... [1807-69]. |date=1832 |publisher=His Majesty's statute and law Printers |pages=353 |language=en}}

The constituency was based upon the communities of Tynemouth and North Shields, in the part of the historic county of Northumberland which has, since 1974, been part of the metropolitan borough of North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear. Under the Boundaries Act, its contents were defined as:

The several Townships of Tynemouth, North Shields, Chirton, Preston and Cullercoats.{{Cite web |title=HMSO Boundary Commission 1832 North Shields |url=https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/sheet/bc_reports_1832_v2/Northumberland_North_Shields}}

Although there is no formal reference to Tynemouth and North Shields in the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, it became known as Tynemouth from that time.{{Cite web |title=Leigh Rayment's list of MPs "T" p 2 |url=http://www.leighrayment.com/commons/Tcommons2.htm |access-date=2022-09-13 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141009131158/http://www.leighrayment.com/commons/Tcommons2.htm |archive-date=9 October 2014 |url-status=usurped}} There was no change to the boundaries.

Supplemental Note:-

• ¹ F. W. S. Craig, in his compilations of election results for Great Britain, classifies Whig, Radical and similar candidates as Liberals from 1832. The name Liberal was gradually adopted as a description for the Whigs and politicians allied with them, before the formal creation of the Liberal Party shortly after the 1859 general election.
