Hoylake Urban District
Several civil parishes of the disbanded Wirral Rural District were added in 1933. These were: Caldy, Frankby, Grange, Greasby and part of Saughall Massie.
In 1898 Hoylake Town Hall opened on Market Street, Hoylake. After the abolition of the local authority, the building was retained for community use. As of 2024 it is being redeveloped as part of The Beacon project, consisting of apartments, retail units, an arts centre and cinema.
The coat of arms of Hoylake were granted on 1 November 1960 and included two golf clubs on the shield, representing the Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
On 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, the urban district was abolished and its area absorbed into the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral of the metropolitan county of Merseyside.
