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.
