The constituency was abolished, along with North Shropshire, under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, with effect from the 1885 general election. The county was then split into single-member constituencies: Ludlow, Newport, Oswestry and Wellington.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be re-established for the next general election, formed from the current constituency of Ludlow with only minor boundary changes.[1]
