Openshaw was an electoral division of Manchester City Council which was represented from 1890 until 1971. It covered the Openshaw area of East Manchester.

Overview

Openshaw ward was created in 1890,[1] as a result of the Manchester Extension Scheme 1890, which transferred the townships of Blackley, Crumpsall, Moston, Newton, Openshaw, and parts of Gorton to the Manchester corporation.[2] Initially, it covered the whole of the former Openshaw township. City-wide boundary revisions in 1919 transferred the easternmost part of the ward to the Gorton North ward.[3] In 1950, the ward's southern boundary became the Great Central Main Line.[4] The ward was abolished in 1971 and its remaining area was transferred to the Bradford ward.[5]

From its creation until 1918, the ward formed part of the Gorton Parliamentary constituency.[6] From 1918 until 1955, it was part of the Manchester Gorton Parliamentary constituency.[7] From 1955 until its abolition, it was part of the Manchester Openshaw Parliamentary constituency.
