Hilldale is a civil parish in the West Lancashire district of Lancashire, England, containing the village of Hill Dale and the neighbouring hamlet of Andertons Mill. Formerly part of Wrightington, Hilldale became a separate civil parish in 1999. As of 2011, Hilldale has a population of 581.
History
In the 19th century, Hilldale had a small population and the settlement consisted of scattered farms and worker's cottages. The opening of the local quarry in the 1880s brought new opportunities to the area and it served as one of the main sources of employment until its closure in the 1970s. Hilldale established its own parish council on 1 April 1999, having previously been a ward of Wrightington civil parish.[1][2]
