From the Wikipedia article
Wansbeck was a constituency in Northumberland in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It was represented from its 1983 re-creation until its abolition for the 2024 general election by members of the Labour Party. Under the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat's area was split between the two new seats of Blyth and Ashington and North Northumberland.

Background
History
Wansbeck was first created by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 as one of four single-member divisions of the county of Northumberland. It was abolished for the 1950 general election, when it was largely replaced by the new constituency of Blyth. The seat was re-established for the 1983 general election, largely replacing the abolished Morpeth constituency. The new version of the seat had very little in common with the version abolished in 1950; only Newbiggin-by-the-Sea and some rural areas were in both.
