Liberals retain Montgomery
The Shropshire Star has a photograph of Emlyn Hooson being carried through the streets of Welshpool after retaining the seat at the October 1974 general election.
How much truth is there in the old anecdote that the local party was so keen to have held the seat for 100 years that they fluffed the 1979 election?
