EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage map print of Port Sunlight Village from 1911, as featured in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This intricately detailed lantern slide presents an Edwardian-era view of the picturesque Port Sunlight Village located on the Wirral Peninsula in England. Established by the Lever Brothers in 1888 as a model village for their soap factory workers, Port Sunlight was designed to provide a healthy and pleasant living environment. The map reveals the extensive network of streets and lanes that crisscrossed the village, with names such as Dock Road, Mill Lane, and Church Road, all neatly labeled. The Lever Brothers' factories, including the soap works and chemical works, dominate the northern part of the map, while the southern section is filled with residential areas, schools, churches, and community buildings. This early 20th-century map offers a fascinating glimpse into the industrial past of Port Sunlight Village. The Lever Brothers' commitment to providing their workers with decent housing, education, and recreational facilities was a pioneering approach to industrial welfare, making Port Sunlight a groundbreaking example of a model village. The intricate lines and meticulous detail in this map print evoke the Victorian and Edwardian eras, transporting us back to a time when industry and community were intricately intertwined. Hang this piece in your home or office to add a touch of history and charm to your space.
