AustralianSwingVoter, this is excellent-pity that so much damage has been done by the modifications made by the LGA 1972, a lot of which did not make any sense (e.g. creating Humberside, which was not in Labour's original Redcliffe-Maud report; also, similar requests to create 'Stourside' [Essex-Suffolk estuary county] and 'Tamarside' [Devon-Cornwall estuary county] were rightly denied)

But I can tell you that 'Stourside' would have included Colchester, Harwich, Clacton, Felixstowe, and Sudbury among other places.
'Tamarside' would have included Saltash and Torpoint from Cornwall and Plymouth, Plympton, and Plymstock from Devon.

The name is ridiculous and it would have been very unpopular, but Stourside would have made a certain amount of sense on the ground. North-east Essex has much better links to Ipswich than to south Essex.

When the constituencies were revised in 1974 they were already based on outdated counties.
The 1997-2010 (1997-2005 Scotland) constituencies were also based on the old council structure, abolished in Scotland for example between 1995/1996.
The 1997-2005 Scottish constituencies were still based on the old Scottish Regional and District Councils, not on the post 1995 unitary authorities.
