1960 Ludlow by-election

The 1960 Ludlow by-election was a parliamentary by-election for the British House of Commons constituency of Ludlow on 16 November 1960.

Vacancy

The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Conservative MP, Christopher Holland-Martin on 5 April 1960. He had been MP here since holding the seat in 1951.

Election history

Ludlow had been won by the Conservatives at every election since 1950 when they gained the seat from the Liberals. The result at the last General election was as follows;

The Conservatives selected 53-year-old Jasper More. He was a landowner and farmer and since 1955 had chaired the Shropshire branch of the Country Landowners' Association. He became a Shropshire County Councillor in 1958. He was educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge, becoming a barrister, called by Lincoln's Inn and Middle Temple in 1930. His career at the bar ended with the outbreak of World War II. He was a civilian employee of the Ministry of Economic Warfare and the Ministry of Aircraft Production and Light Metals Control until 1942, was commissioned as an Army legal officer on the General List in 1943, and was in Italy until 1945 and with the military government of the Dodecanese until 1946. In 1944, he married Clare Hope-Edwards, also a Shropshire landowner.
Labour re-selected 32-year-old John Garwell, a schoolmaster. He contested Ludlow in 1959. He was educated at Nottingham High School, Nottingham University and Birmingham University. He was a Member of Warwick Rural District Council, the Midlands New Towns Association, and the Fabian Society.^[2]
The Liberals intervened and selected 52-year-old Lt-Col. Denis Rees. He had contested neighbouring Oswestry in 1959. He was an industrial relations adviser. He was educated at Caterham School and McGill University, Canada. He was Mayor of Pembroke from 1937-38. He was Chairman of South Wales Liberal Federation.^[3]

Liquefied flow

An ancient liquified sediment flow in Talara, Peru with nicely preserved dish structures. Liquefied flows (also known as liquified flows and fluidized flows) are types of sediment-gravity flows in which grains within the flow are kept in suspension by the upward movement of fluid. They form in granular substances where the concentration of suspended mud is too low to develop cohesive forces within the flow. As grains at the base of the suspension settle out, fluid that is displaced upward by ...
