In short. Thatcher closed the mines. Labour grew in popularity as people still blame Conservatives until this day for the poverty up here. I don't think Conservatives or LibDems have ever won there...
I must say, watching how you do elections is pretty archaic. At least for Ohio.
99% of our ballots were cast electronically.
First results are in....8.3% swing in favor of the conservatives in one precinct (or whatever you call them over there):
2251 First result: Houghton & Sunderland South: Labour hold seat with 19,137 for Bridget Phillipson. Tories second with 8,147. Turnout of 55pc. Swing from Lab to Con of 8.4pc
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I really don't trust electronic voting, it really isn't nearly secure enough.

I'm not sure why we don't vote electronically, but that really has to be introduced for the next election in...oh, six months.
