As new consituencies are almost certain to become law, some old names will soon dissapear. This thread is for them and others before them
Eccles Constituency and Normanton Constituency. Both formed in 1885 and are probably some of the oldest losses. In 2005 Scotland 'lost' Dumfriesshire, Linlithgow, Perth and Roxburghshire/Berwickshire, all survivors from the 1708 parliament. Of course they still live on in Holyrood.
Some 1997 losses
Carmarthen 1542-1997.
Some names now lost include Langbaurgh that only lasted one review alongs with a fair number of 1983 creations and Norwood. Other lossed included the little lamented Glasgow Central which was recreated in 2005 alongside Westminster North in the current review. Hamilton was also abolished (for shame!) and the comissions have resisted attempts to recreate it.
1983
Bedford, Oxford 1295(!)-1983
Maldon 1332-1983
This saw the deathknell of many constituencies as the nation conformed to imposed new local government boundaries. Some other lost gems include Barkton Ash, Chester-le-Street, Clitheroe, Denbigh, Ince, Morpeth and Petersfield.
More reminiscing soon I'm sure
