St. Mark's was an electoral division of Manchester City Council which was represented from 1890 until 1971. It covered parts of Longsight and West Gorton in East Manchester.

Overview

St. Mark's 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 that part of the incorporated area of Gorton to the north of Hyde Road. In 1919,[3] the northern portion of the Longsight ward was transferred to the ward. Further city-wide boundary revisions in 1950 transferred that part of the Longsight ward to the east of the Crewe-Manchester Line to the ward.[4] The ward was abolished in 1971 and its remaining area was transferred to the Ardwick and Longsight wards.[5]

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