Manchester North West was one of several Parliamentary constituencies created in 1885 from the former Manchester constituency. Its first MP, William Houldsworth, had previously sat for Manchester. It was abolished in 1918.

In 1910, Bonar Law challenged Winston Churchill to run against him here, and promised "he would welcome him and they would have a lively time". Bonar Law suggested that the loser should stay out of the next parliament (The Times). Churchill declined. In the event Bonar Law lost to the sitting MP, Sir George Kemp.

Kemp resigned the seat in July 1912, ostensibly to concentrate on his business interests, but he was known to disagree with the Home Rule Bill (The Times).
