Product Description
Product Description
The model industrial village of Port Sunlight was founded by the soap manufacturer W. H. Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) in 1888 for the factory workers of his firm of Lever Brothers. The village was acclaimed from the first as exemplifying the best in English town planning and house design, and greatly influenced subsequent industrial villages such as Bournville, and the garden city movement more generally. Fully revised and with over 20 new photographs A Guide to Port Sunlight considers the village in its historical context, with particular emphasis on the planning and architectural aspects. It explains the social and visual significance of Port Sunlight and the reasons for its being unique in the history of town planning, as well as looking at the way its development was influenced by changing fashions in civic design. The relevance of Levers own character and interests his social conscience, his love of art and beauty and his architectural enthusiasms is also examined. Two tours, one for pedestrians and one for car drivers, which include and describe the most significant buildings of the village, are an additional feature of the guide.

Format:Paperback
Quite an informative book but not enough maps, photos, diagrams etc to lift the book and make you want to read it. Seems to be the only book I could find on it though, perhaps there's a gap in the market here!
