This Cheshire seat consists of the south-eastern part of the metropolitan borough of Tameside. It is more working-class than average, and it has a higher percentage of employment in manufacturing industry than any other North Western seat. Although Stalybridge and Hyde has become a safe Labour side, and has not fallen to the Tories since before the second world war, it was marginal in the 1950s, held with three-figure majorities. Like many northern urban seats, it has swung away from the Tories in recent decades, and its MP since 1970, Tom Pendry, held it by over 4,000 even in Labour's annus horribilis of 1983. Some minor boundary changes will not trouble Pendry much.
