Brothers Lever Statues Sun Light
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the War Memorial at Port Sunlight, a poignant tribute to the lives lost in the two world wars. The memorial, bathed in the soft, ethereal light filtering through the trees, stands proudly at the heart of this picturesque village. The memorial's central feature is a tall cross, its intricately carved arms reaching towards the heavens in silent prayer. Surrounding the cross are steps, inviting visitors to pause and reflect on the sacrifice made by the names inscribed on the plinth below. The names etched into the memorial are those of Lever Brothers employees who gave their lives in the service of their country. The Lever Brothers company, founded by Sir William Hesketh Lever, was a major employer in the area, and the community of Port Sunlight was built to provide decent housing for its workers. The memorial, dating back to circa 1927, is a testament to the deep sense of camaraderie and unity that existed among the employees. The statues of soldiers and angels that adorn the memorial add to its solemn and moving atmosphere, serving as a constant reminder of the human cost of war. As the sun casts dappled shadows over the memorial, the peaceful scene is a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between the community of Port Sunlight and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The War Memorial stands as a symbol of hope, resilience, and remembrance, inviting visitors to pause, reflect, and honor the memories of those who gave their lives in the service of their country.
