Wallsend (UK Parliament constituency)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wallsend was a parliamentary constituency centred on Wallsend, a town on the north bank of the River Tyne in North Tyneside.

It returned one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1918 until it was abolished for the 1997 general election.

It was then partly replaced by the new Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend constituency.
