==History==
==History==
The seat was created in 1885, prior to its creation the area had been part of the larger [[Sheffield (UK Parliament constituency)|Sheffield Borough constituency]], which was represented by two [[Member of Parliament|MP]]s. The 1885 [[Redistribution of Seats Act 1885|Redistribution of Seats Act]], which sought to eliminate multi-member constituencies and give greater representation to urban areas, led to the break-up of the constituency into five divisions, each represented by a single MP. Ecclesall was one of these new divisions. The seat was abolished in 1950 as part of a redrawing of the Sheffield constituency boundaries that also led to the abolition of [[Sheffield Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Sheffield Central]] and the creation of [[Sheffield Heeley (UK Parliament constituency)|Sheffield Heeley]] and [[Sheffield Neepsend (UK Parliament constituency)|Sheffield Neepsend]].

Sheffield Ecclesall
Former borough constituency
for the House of Commons
CountySouth Yorkshire
1885–1950
Created fromSheffield
Replaced bySheffield Hallam and Sheffield Park

Sheffield Ecclesall was a Parliamentary constituency represented by a single Member of Parliament in the House of Commons from 1885 to 1950. 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 system.

Boundaries

[edit]

1885–1918: Part of the Municipal Borough of Sheffield ward of Ecclesall.

1918–1950: The County Borough of Sheffield wards of Ecclesall and Sharrow.

Ecclesall constituency covered south central Sheffield. Most of the area that made up this constituency is now included in Sheffield Heeley constituency.

History

[edit]

The seat was created in 1885, prior to its creation the area had been part of the larger Sheffield borough constituency, which was represented by two MPs. The 1885 Redistribution of Seats Act, which sought to eliminate multi-member constituencies and give greater representation to urban areas, led to the break-up of the constituency into five divisions, each represented by a single MP. Ecclesall was one of these new divisions. The seat was abolished in 1950 as part of a redrawing of the Sheffield constituency boundaries that also led to the abolition of Sheffield Central and the creation of Sheffield Heeley and Sheffield Neepsend.
