In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Parkside like this:
PARKSIDE, a place in the S of Lancashire; on the Liverpool and Manchester railway, at the junction of the Newton and Wigan railway, 1 mile E S E of Newton. It has a station at the railway junction; and it was the scene of the death of Huskisson, at the opening of the railway, and has a tablet to his memory.
Parkside is now part of ST HELENS District. Click here for graphs and data of how ST HELENS has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Parkside itself, go to Statistics.
