History

Prior to its creation Hallam was a part of the larger Sheffield Borough constituency, which was represented by two Members of Parliament (MPs). In 1885 the Redistribution of Seats Act, which sought to eliminate constituencies with more than one MP and give greater representation to urban areas, led to the break-up of the constituency into five divisions: each represented by a single MP. Hallam was one of these new divisions. Its first MP, the Conservative Charles Beilby Stuart-Wortley, had previously been an MP in the Sheffield constituency, elected for the first time in 1880. The Parliamentary constituency of Sheffield was created by the Reform Act of 1832. ...
