More about this scene
Port Sunlight was the dream of William Lever, a man who believed that there was good in everyone; only the best would do for his workers and employees. He moved his soap-making factory from Warrington to Bromborough Dock around 1888, and then set about building homes for the workers. The estate covered 770 acres (including the works); when it was finished, it housed around 6,000 people. Every cottage was said to be different, and many different architects were employed to help turn a swampy muddy creek into a wonderful Garden Village. Here we see a few of those workers' houses and the post office.
