EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1920s with this stunning print of The Lever Free Library in Port Sunlight, Wirral, Merseyside. Designed by William and Segar Owen, this beautiful building is a true architectural gem that has stood the test of time.
The library was founded by William Hesketh Lever, 1st Viscount Leverhulme, as part of his vision for the model village of Port Sunlight. It was established to provide education and cultural enrichment for the residents of the village and surrounding areas.
In this black and white image captured by Grenville Collins, we see the grandeur and elegance of the library's facade. The intricate detailing on the exterior reflects a sense of pride and community spirit that was prevalent during this era.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of a time when libraries were not just repositories for books but also hubs for social interaction and intellectual growth. The Lever Free Library served as a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment for generations past.
Today, this iconic building continues to stand as a testament to Lord Leverhulme's philanthropic legacy. It remains a cherished landmark in Port Sunlight, preserving its rich heritage for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
