Boundaries
The constituency, when created from 1955, was a county constituency formed as the southernmost division of Cheshire in North East England. It comprised the urban districts for the towns of Middlewich, Nantwich and Winsford as well as parts of three rural districts (Nantwich, Northwich and Tarvin).
Nantwich itself had previously been part of the Crewe division. The rest of the new seat had been split off from the Northwich constituency.
There were only minor boundary changes at the redistribution which took effect from the February 1974 general election. The same local authorities were involved as in 1955. However the next redistribution, before the 1983 general election, was based upon a new pattern of local authorities. The Northwich constituency was not retained after the dissolution of Parliament in 1983.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“We must be generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed ... In this fresh, breezy atmosphere ... we will be surprised to find that many of our familiar old conventional truths look very queer indeed in some of the sudden side lights thrown upon them.”
—Bertha Honore Potter Palmer (1849–1918)
“Ideas are not thoughts; the thought respects the boundaries that the idea ignores thereby failing to realize itself.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
