:::The current consistuency boundaries have existed since 1997. So that’s 24 years not nearly 200. [[User:Martinevans123|Martinevans123]] ([[User talk:Martinevans123|talk]]) 10:39, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

::A seat of the same name, with similar but not identical boundaries {[[North Shropshire (UK Parliament constituency)#Members of Parliament]]), was Conservative from 1834 until 1885, when it was replaced by the constituency of [[Oswestry (UK Parliament constituency)|Oswestry]]. That seat was Conservative from 1885 to 1983 ””’except””’ for the period 1904-06 when it was held by the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberals]]. From 1983, the seat (again called North Shropshire, and with revised boundaries) has been Conservative. So, the answer most nearly correct is “since 1906” – not what the BBC say.
