Boundaries
The constituency covers the central part of Newcastle upon Tyne, being one of three constituencies in the city. Between 1983 and 2010, the seat did not actually contain the city's commercial centre, as it was covered by the Tyne Bridge constituency, which also covered parts of Gateshead. Boundary changes taking effect at the 2010 general election remove this anomaly, with the city centre being divided between this seat and Newcastle upon Tyne East.
The constituency is formed from eight electoral wards: Benwell and Scotswood, Blakelaw, Elswick, Fenham, Kenton, Westgate, West Gosforth, and Wingrove.

Famous quotes containing the word boundaries:
“It is the story-teller’s task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“We love to overlook the boundaries which we do not wish to pass.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
