Step back in time with this enchanting early 1900s photograph of The Bridge Inn, located in the picturesque Port Sunlight Village on the Wirral Peninsula. This vintage image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the Bridge Inn standing proudly as a beacon of community and hospitality. The Bridge Inn, built in the late Victorian to early Edwardian period, is a quintessential English pub, nestled amongst the charming cottages and gardens of Port Sunlight. The pub's distinctive red-brick facade, adorned with intricate stonework and a charming lantern, invites visitors to step inside and enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Port Sunlight Village, established by the Lever Brothers soap company in the late 19th century, was designed to provide a model community for its workers. The village, with its beautiful gardens, tree-lined streets, and unique architecture, was a visionary project that attracted many residents and visitors. The Bridge Inn, as a central hub of the community, would have been a popular gathering place for locals. The pub's proximity to the nearby factories would have made it a convenient stop for workers, while its welcoming atmosphere would have made it a favorite among families and friends. This photograph, part of the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past. The Bridge Inn, with its inviting lantern and charming architecture, stands as a testament to the history and character of Port Sunlight Village and the Wirral Peninsula.
