Not sure Delyn has ever met the criteria for an administrative county, but there are plenty of French départements named after two rivers.
Back closer to the topic at hand, I may not have links to Ravensbourne but I am a born Raven.

I was struggling with the conundrum as well as I could only think of a Welsh county named for three rivers (Rhondda, Cynon, Taff) but of course bjornhattan is from the 'county' of Tyne & Wear More on topic still, here is the (Butler) swing from February 1974 to 2024 (I could have done with a larger range for the pro-Labour swing but before this election this palette had been more than adequate)  And the trend  |

It is a bit skewed in parts due to the performance of Independents in Islington and some parts of East London, but generally the treands are clear enough, particularly the massive pro-Labour swing in the area centred on Crystal Palace

I daresay that Margaret Thatcher's decision to create the LDDC shows up in that map.

The pattern along the river further west is also quite striking - Battersea (North) in particular has totally shifted from being one of the strongest areas in Inner London for Labour to one of the weakest.

Industrial > Deindustrialized [censored]holes > Integrated into service-based economy. By the power of the State in the case of Docklands: the general consensus in Urban History these days is broadly speaking that the LDDC (essentially a New Town with Neoliberal Characteristics) was a great success but that the bits of the wider project that were more obviously Thatcherite (Canary Wharf etc) were disasters that were only made to 'work' due to taxpayer bailouts.

That's seat swing is pretty massive. Agree: re: Crystal Palace. |
