Sheffield Central was abolished in [[1950 United Kingdom general election\|1950]] and the sitting MP, Harry Morris, stood and won in the new seat (now extinct) of [[Sheffield Neepsend (UK Parliament constituency)\|Sheffield Neepsend]].

This was the main target seat of the party in Yorkshire. Its 2012-2016 Leader [[Natalie Bennett]], chose to settle locally on stepping down from the policy-steering role in 2016 and had chosen to contest Sheffield Central at the [[2017 United Kingdom general election\|2017 general election]]. Lib Dem candidates scored variable second places in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2010 then took fourth place in 2015. ;Turnout Turnout has ranged from 62.5% in 1987 to 49.5% in 2001. ;Future ~~== Constituency profile ==~~ Blomfield has announced that he will stand down at the 2024 general election.
