Coppull history

---

It is possible that a Roman road between Wigan and Walton-le-Dale passed over Coppull Moor. The settlement has an Anglo Saxon name describing its topography derived from the Old English copp a hill top and hyll a hill. The township was variously recorded as Cophull and Cophulle in 1277.

Industrial Revolution

A water mill at Birkacre was leased by Richard Arkwright for cotton spinning in 1778 but was set on fire by machine wreckers in 1779. The mill was rebuilt and used for calico printing, dyeing and bleaching. The North Union Railway between Wigan and Preston opened in 1838.
