South Northumberland (formally the "Southern Division of Northumberland") was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was represented by two Members of Parliament (MPs), elected by the bloc vote system.
The area was created by the Great Reform Act 1832 by the splitting of Northumberland constituency into Northern and Southern divisions.
It was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, when Northumberland was divided into four single member divisions: Berwick-upon-Tweed, Hexham, Tyneside and Wansbeck.
1832–1886: The Wards of Tynedale and Castle, and the Town and County of the Town of Newcastle upon Tyne.[1][2]
