Overview

Barlow Moor ward was created in 1950, [1] covering the western portion of the former Didsbury ward, which included Barlow Moor. In 1971, [2] the ward underwent minor boundary changes, and was left unchanged by a further city-wide boundary revision in 1982. [3] In 2004, the ward was abolished, and its remaining area was divided between the new Chorlton Park and Didsbury West wards. [4]

From 1950 until 1955, the ward formed part of the Manchester Wythenshawe Parliamentary constituency. [5] [6] From 1955 until its abolition, it was part of the Manchester Withington Parliamentary constituency.
