Lying on what was formerly the Derbyshire side of the River Trent, Winshill was transformed in the mid 19th century from a secluded settlement into a large village with extensive housing for workers in Burton upon Trent. Later in the century middle-class houses were built along the Ashby road, and there has also been extensive 20th century council and private housing development in the south-eastern part of the township.

Winshill was a township in Burton ancient parish and later a civil parish covering 1,150 acres (4.65 km²). The southern part of the township, covering 607 acres (2.46 km²), was taken into Burton municipal borough on its extension in 1878, and under the Local Government Act of 1888 that area, then given as 642 acres (2.60 km²), was treated for municipal purposes as part of Staffordshire. It was wholly transferred to Staffordshire in 1894, when the remaining part of the township on the north and east sides of Dalebrook was added to the adjoining Derbyshire civil parish of Newton Solney. The area of the Winshill ward of East Staffordshire district was 452 acres (1.83 km²) in 1981. A boundary change of 1991 added land from the Derbyshire parishes of Newton Solney and Bretby.

The actor Paddy Considine was brought up and went to school in Winshill.
