New Chester Road, Port Sunlight Village: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases New Chester Road in Port Sunlight Village, a picturesque and historic area located on the Wirral Peninsula in Merseyside, England. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and charm of this Victorian and Edwardian community. The photograph reveals a tranquil scene, with New Chester Road lined by quaint cottages, their red-brick facades adorned with ivy and flowers. The cobblestone street, illuminated by the soft glow of a lantern, leads the eye to the distant factory buildings, their smokestacks barely visible against the horizon. The factory, which was not part of the Lever Brothers soap company, was a significant employer in the village, providing jobs for many residents. The houses, with their steeply pitched roofs and chimneys, exude a sense of warmth and coziness, while the trees and greenery that line the street add a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The horses and carts, a common mode of transportation during this era, add to the vintage charm of the photograph. Port Sunlight Village, founded by the Lever Brothers in 1888, was designed to provide a model community for its workers, with amenities such as a library, school, hospital, and recreational facilities. This photograph offers a rare and enchanting glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and character of this unique and fascinating place.
