Assessor comments
"A well-presented and fascinating museum where the main exhibit is the town it’s located in"
Overview
Port Sunlight is a beautifully preserved ‘model village’. Created by William Hesketh Lever in 1888, it was built to house workers from Lever’s nearby soap factory. The architecture of the village is endlessly fascinating, and is largely unchanged since its construction. The museum details the history of Port Sunlight, William Lever and the Lever company. Free parking across the village, tea room, shop.
