The Frankley estate was eventually incorporated into Birmingham. When I worked in Bromsgrove in the 1980s, the complaint of Frankley tenants was that they had no influence on their landlords. That is the parish of "New Frankley in Birmingham", the smaller of the two parished areas of the city, the other being Sutton Coldfield, the most populous parish in England with c. 100,000 residents Royal Sutton Coldfield is ridiculous as a parish. It should really be a non-metropolitan district in Warwickshire or Staffordshire, which it has more than enough population and wealth to sustain. If Solihull were to become a non-metropolitan district in Warwickshire, it likewise would not need that strange protrusion north of the Airport, which could go into Birmingham. |

I think the whole of Sutton Coldfield used to be in Warwickshire so that would be the obvious county to put it into again. |

I did those maps of my "département". These are the legislative constituencies from 1958 to 2017.
I couldn't get the software to draw boundaries, so I had to use several blue, several red, several pink and several yellow to designate the right-wing (including gaullist and giscardien), the communists and insoumis, the socialists and the macronists respectively.
There's no map for 1986 since the election was a list-proportional election.
The boundaries are not perfect inside the cities (I need more information on that).
There are very few constituencies without much change.
The Dunkerque constituency has mostly been left-wing, even though it was once one constituency (by Albert Denvers), then two (with one going right-wing in 1993) then one again by my comrade republican left Christian Hutin (MRC then MDC)
To the right, the Lille-Lambersart and Lille-Marcq-en-Baroeul constituencies have been mostly right-wing (though with LREM now). The Flandre constituency (south of Dunkerque) has mostly been right-wing except between 1997 and 2002 with Monique Denise (PS), deputy mayor of Dunkerque (not in the constituency).
The Douai-South-East (then East) constituency (mining country) has also been communist for a long time, but not in 1958. Saint-Amand has also long been communist except in 1958 and in 1973 when a former socialist (who left in 1970 when the socialists signed a common platform with the communists and joined UDF) took it for one term.

Something that has always puzzled me - why does the Nord département have a small detached part within Pas-de-Calais? British counties had detached parts for historical reasons connected with aristocratic land holdings, but the French départements were created after the aristos had mostly met Mme Guillotine, so it seems a bit of an anomaly.

I found an article for you:
Two hypotheses:
one "very-very-french": the "sous-préfet" of Cambrai (Nord) had a mistress in Moeuvres
one more likely: the three parishes depended on the Cambrai Evêché even though they were part of Artois (in Pas-de-Calais)
So the révolutionnaires may have taken into account this very clerical fact.

This intrigued me so I did a bit of googling. Found this: www.lesechos.fr/2011/07/moeuvres-ilot-nordiste-en-pas-de-calais-1090579Short answer - no-one can remember. Two theories are 1) an official in Cambrai had a mistress in the area and 2) something to do with the Bishopric of Cambrai. The enclave also contains some British territory - WWI cemeteries. Edit: I see relique beat me to it, probably because I had to use Google Translate! |

Yes, the Bishop owned lands their, and he kept control over those parishes even if the other villages around depended on Arras, apparently.

The map there is considerably distorted by lots of the council's area being in the Thames and Medway estuaries.
