1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Hulme Hall - Girls Dining Hall, Port Sunlight, Wirral, Lancashire, England (1910s) 2.. Step back in time with this image of Hulme Hall - Girls Dining Hall, located in the picturesque village of Port Sunlight, Wirral, near Bebington, in Lancashire, England. Dating back to the 1910s, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of young girls during that era. Hulme Hall, built as part of the Port Sunlight Village, was designed to provide a comfortable and nurturing environment for the daughters of the workers employed by the Lever Brothers soap company. The village, established in 1888 by William Hesketh Lever, aimed to provide decent housing and community facilities for its residents, and the dining hall was no exception. In this image, we see a bustling scene of young girls seated at long tables, eagerly tucking into their meals. The girls' attire, consisting of neatly pressed uniforms and ribbons in their hair, reflects the strict discipline and order that was an integral part of life at Hulme Hall. The dining hall's high ceilings, large windows, and ornate decorations create an atmosphere of grandeur and sophistication, contrasting with the simple, functional design of the tables and chairs. The photograph also reveals the communal nature of dining at Hulme Hall, with girls of various ages and backgrounds sharing a meal together. This sense of unity and camaraderie likely contributed to the strong bonds and friendships that were forged within the walls of the dining hall. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to a time when life was simpler, and communal dining halls like Hulme Hall played a vital role in shaping the lives of young girls in Port Sunlight.
