EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Park Road in Port Sunlight Village, captured in the early 1900s. The quaint, tree-lined street is bathed in the soft glow of a Victorian or Edwardian lantern, casting an ethereal light over the cobblestones. Situated 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 village for their workers. This idyllic scene on Park Road showcases the charming cottages and houses that were meticulously designed and built to provide comfortable living conditions for the residents. The tranquil atmosphere is further enhanced by the absence of modern vehicles, allowing us to imagine the gentle clatter of horse-drawn carts and the sound of children's laughter echoing through the streets. The factories, which were an integral part of the village, are noticeably absent from this image, adding to the serene and pastoral feel. This vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It invites us to marvel at the beauty and charm of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace and community spirit was at the heart of everyday life.
