Much of the constituency is commuter territory for Manchester, with affluent villages such as Prestbury.
Following their review of parliamentary representation in Cheshire, the Boundary Commission for England have made minor changes to the existing arrangement as a consequence of population changes.
That was in the golden era of the showjumper Harvey Smith and because there were plenty of big tough horses around Martin had to be as strong as Harvey Smith to ride them.

Harvey Smith personally laid down 18 furlongs of all-weather gallops made of a mixture that includes pig hair.
