I think the Con vote would be about 3% below what it was in 1992 here.
Given that the Tory shares increased in 1987 and 1992, it would probably exceed what it was in 1979.
Which seats contained Upminster from 1885 to 1974? Was it in Hornchurch from 1945 until then?
It was in Romford from 1885-1945 and yes in Hornchurch from then until 1974
Thank you Pete
I used to see Upminster on destination boards when I was about 10 and would wonder where it was.
It was interesting watching this seat early on the 1979 program (replayed)
because it would have been about the time I started to find my way around London.
I read somewhere that Harold Wilson listed this as one of the seats which “got away” in October 1974.
Joe: how old were you when you moved to London?
I think I was only 3,
so effectively London anyway.
