EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of Hulme Hall (Girls' Restaurant) in Port Sunlight Village. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image transports us back in time to an era of Victorian and Edwardian elegance. The Hulme Hall Girls' Restaurant was a significant establishment within the Port Sunlight community, providing meals for the female workers employed at the nearby Lever Brothers soap factory. The village, founded by William Hesketh Lever in 1888, was designed to provide a healthy and idyllic living environment for his workers, and the restaurant was an essential part of this vision. The photograph showcases the charming exterior of the restaurant, with its red-brick facade and ornate stonework. The warm glow of the lanterns illuminating the entrance creates an inviting atmosphere, while the lush greenery surrounding the building adds to the picturesque scene. The girls in their modest, high-collared dresses and bonnets can be seen milling about, some carrying trays or chatting with friends, adding a touch of human interest to the image. The Hulme Hall Girls' Restaurant stands as a testament to the unique history of Port Sunlight Village and the important role it played in the lives of its workers. This vintage photograph, with its intricate details and rich history, serves as a reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of community and camaraderie.
