EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases the quintessential charm of A Parlour House in Port Sunlight Village. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the intricacies of a bygone era. Nestled within the picturesque village, this Victorian-Edwardian semi-detached house stands proudly, its red-brick facade adorned with intricate detailing. The house, with its steeply pitched roof and tall, narrow windows, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The lantern on the porch adds a warm, inviting glow, casting a gentle light on the cobblestone path leading to the front door. Port Sunlight Village, established in the late 19th century by the Lever Brothers soap company, was renowned for its idyllic setting and beautiful architecture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the villagers who called this place home. The houses, designed to provide comfortable living conditions for the workers, were built in various architectural styles, reflecting the company's commitment to creating a model community. The village, situated on the Wirral Peninsula, was a self-contained settlement with its own schools, churches, and shops. The presence of the nearby factory, which produced the renowned Lever Brothers soap, ensured employment opportunities for the residents. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare and precious glimpse into the past. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and architectural heritage of Port Sunlight Village and the lives of its inhabitants during the early 1900s.
