Yes, but Newton Heath was a separate township in Lancashire. Originally wasn’t part of Manchester.Manchester still comes under the boundaries of Lancashire.
Manchester is in Lancashire and Greater Manchester. It was removed from the administrative county of Lancashire in 1974, however the act makes clear the traditional county boundaries still remain. So whilst Manchester is in the ceremonial county of Greater Manchester it is also in the historic county of Lancashire.
The district was incorporated into the city of Manchester in 1890. Newton Heath is in the parliamentary constituency of Manchester Central alongside Manchester city centre, Hulme, Beswick, Clayton, Openshaw and Moss Side.
