Overview
St. John's ward was one of the fifteen municipal wards created in 1838,[1] when the Manchester Borough Council was granted a Charter of Incorporation under the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.[2]
Initially, the ward's boundaries corresponded with those of Districts No.13 (Old Quay) and No.14 (St. John's) of the Manchester Township, which covered the area of Manchester city centre including Castlefield and the area surrounding Deansgate. Its original boundaries remained in place until 1919[3] when the southern portion of the former St. James' ward, including St. Peter's Square was transferred to the ward. In 1950, the ward was abolished, and its area became part of the new St. Peter's ward.[4]
From 1838 until 1885, the ward formed part of the Manchester Parliamentary constituency. From 1885 until 1918, it was part of the Manchester North West Parliamentary constituency.[5] From 1918 until its abolition, it was part of the Manchester Exchange Parliamentary constituency.[6]
