This small Wirral town once
served nearby docks and came to the fore during
the Industrial Revolution.
Here you will discover the unique delights of Port
Sunlight, a real-life garden village built and
designed by William Lever (Lord Leverhulme) in the
late 19th century to house workers at his nearby
soap factory.

The village was named after
his company's best-selling Sunlight Soap.
The firm is better known today as the
multi-national pharmaceuticals giant Unilever.
Lord Leverhulme also founded the Lady Lever Art
Gallery as a tribute to his late wife.
It houses art, furniture and one of Britain’s
biggest collections of Wedgwood china. |
