In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Holborn Hill like this:
HOLBORN-HILL, a place on the SW coast of Cumberland; at the Furness railway, on the N side of the Duddon estuary, 8½ miles SSE of Bootle. It has a station on the railway, and a post office† under Ulverstone.
Holborn Hill is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Holborn Hill itself, go to Statistics.
