I have had a go at Don Valley, and may try Doncaster Central if no-one else gets there first.

When I have overcome my disappointment at duplicating the Carshalton & Wallington thread, I shall probably aim to fill in gaps here. It could be said that Great Grimsby is one of the very few constituencies in which I have actually campaigned, and I have also done a fair amount of consultancy work in Brigg and Goole.
By the way, maybe this section should be headed Yorkshire and Humberside, given the widespread belief south of the Humber that they are 'yellowbellies' and not 'yorkies' ...!

Fixed that for you. |

Actually, the abomination that is Humberside should be abolished and Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Scunthorpe should be returned to their rightful place in the East Midlands. Incidentally, I've just noticed that the Hull seats are outstanding so I'm going to ask my mum if she fancies doing them as she grew up nearby until she was a teenager |

Bumped, as this should be at the top of this board not the bottom ....
... and I still have hopes that some kind soul might fill in some of the remaining gaps.
(And I still think the title should be 'Yorkshire and Humberside')

(And I still think the title should be 'Yorkshire and Humberside') The old Humberside includes parts of Yorkshire, and therefore Yorkshire and Humberside double counts the East Riding. Whereas whilst the Humber does too it is far less explicit. Basically 'the Humber' trumps Humberside but the best solution is Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. |

What I mean is ‘Yorkshire’ is wrong if this section is to include the north Lincolnshire seats. |

What I mean is ‘Yorkshire’ is wrong if this section is to include the north Lincolnshire seats. I hear you, I really do, but I also understand the benefit of short-hand. For example, the South West could be responded with 'South West what? South West Dresden?' When it is clearly South West of England. Similarly, the people on this forum are smart enough to recognise that these are the nine statistical regions of England and also that 'Yorkshire' is short-hand. It is including Grimsby and excluding Middlesbrough. I think there is little need to be completely explicit. Could that piss of people in North Lincolnshire? Possibly by feeling neglected, but personally I think the brevity is fine. |

My next effort will be Cleethorpes. Edit: about to be one less for John Chanin's list |
