He subsequently established his own business, T.

He stood as Liberal candidate for parliament on a number of occasions, but was only successful at the 1892 general election, when he became MP for Heywood. He lost his seat three years later to George Kemp of the Conservatives.[1] Although no longer in parliament, Snape continued his involvement with politics. At the time of his death he was a county alderman on Lancashire County Council, and a justice of the peace for the county.[1] Thomas Snape died at his residence in Liverpool in 1912, aged 77.[1] References{{Rayment-hc|date=March 2012}}1. ^1 2 3 Obituary: Alderman T.
