EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Shakespeare's House in Port Sunlight Village, captured in the early 1900s. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the quaint charm of this historic cottage nestled among the lush greenery of the village. Located in the picturesque Wirral area of Merseyside, Port Sunlight Village was established in the late 19th century by the Lever Brothers soap company as a model community for their workers. The village was named after Sir William Shakespeare, the founder of the Lever Brothers, and was designed to provide a healthy and pleasant living environment for its residents. Shakespeare's House, with its red-brick facade and Victorian-era details, exemplifies the unique character of Port Sunlight Village. The cottage features a thatched roof, intricate woodwork, and a charming front porch, all illuminated by the soft glow of a lantern, adding to the cozy and inviting atmosphere. The early 1900s was a period of significant growth and prosperity for the Lever Brothers company, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the idyllic living conditions provided for their workers. The surrounding landscape is dotted with factories, but the cottages and gardens are meticulously maintained, creating a harmonious balance between industry and community. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and unique character of Port Sunlight Village, a place where the past and present converge to create a truly enchanting destination. Whether you're a history buff, a fan of Victorian architecture, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image of Shakespeare's House is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to a bygone era.
