The re-established seat comprises the City of Manchester wards of Ardwick, Fallowfield, Hulme, Moss Side, Rusholme and Whalley Range,[3] transferred in approximately equal parts from Manchester Central and Manchester Gorton (to be abolished, with remaining parts included in the new constituency of Gorton and Denton).
The division consisted of areas that had been included with Manchester's municipal boundaries in 1890 and 1909.[5] Since the previous redistribution of seats in 1885, they had formed part of the Stretford Division of Lancashire.
The seat was abolished by the Representation of the People Act 1948, with its area being redistributed between Manchester Ardwick (Longsight), Manchester Gorton (Levenshulme) and Manchester Withington (Rusholme) borough constituencies.[6]
Manchester Rusholme is one of only two constituencies in England or Wales (the other being Chorley, by convention to not stand against the Speaker) where the Liberal Democrats did not stand a candidate. This was due to the nomination paper being rejected after the close of nominations.[12]
