Low Hill ward was an electoral district of Liverpool City Council. The ward was part of what is now the eastern edge of Liverpool City Centre and the Kensington district of Liverpool.
The ward was created in 1895 to accommodate the expanding city. It was reformed in 1953 and was merged with Smithdown ward in 1973.
The ward was extracted from West Derby ward and was part of the Liverpool Abercromby Parliamentary constituency. On the re-arrangement of Parliamentary constituencies for the 1918 General Election Low Hill ward became part of the Liverpool Edge Hill constituency.[1]
Liverpool City Council ward boundaries were changed prior to the 1953 election; the boundaries of Low Hill ward were largely unchanged. From 1955 the ward was a constituent part of the Liverpool Exchange constituency.
Following the Local Government Act 1972 the ward boundaries of the council were altered. The number of wards was reduced from 40 to 33 and the aldermanic system was abolished. Low Hill ward was merged with Smithdown ward to form Low Hill, Smithdown ward.[2]
