Port Sunlight War Memorial 1080p WIRRAL
Port Sunlight War Memorial
The Port Sunlight War Memorial stands in a central position in the model village of Port Sunlight, Wirral, Merseyside, England. The founder of the village and employer of its residents, William Lever, was anxious to have a memorial to commemorate those of his workers who had been lost in the First World War. As early as 1916 he commissioned Goscombe John to design a war memorial, which was completed and unveiled in 1921 by two of his employees. It consists of a granite runic cross with bronze statues and reliefs and has the theme Defence of the Realm. On the memorial are the names of all of the company's employees who died as a result of both World Wars. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed

Heritage: Soap-boiler, social reformer, MP and tribal chieftain - the life of William Lever
the avanti group
In the latest of our series commemorating the life and work of people honoured with blue plaques, Adam Sonin explores the fascinating history of soap manufacturer and philanthropist William Lever.
Soap-boiler, social reformer, MP, tribal chieftain, multi-millionaire and Lord of the Western Isles. He employed workmen from the Mersey to the Congo and they all called him 'Chief'. His peers knew him as William Lever, later to become first Viscount Leverhulme.
When he was made a Baronet in 1911 he chose the motto Mutare Vel Timere Sperno: I spurn to change or fear. Throughout his life his favourite novel was Charles Dickens' David Copperfield (1850). He owned a string of grand houses packed full of antiques, artworks and treasures, all guarded by tiger-skin rugs.
He was known to often sleep outdoors, in all weathers, and on a simple iron bed. Evelyn Waugh, a near neighbour, described his house, then under construction, as Italianite. His model village, Port Sunlight, near his soapworks in Birkenhead, ranks alongside Henrietta Barnett's Hampstead Garden Suburb as one of England's great experiments in town planning. Barnett was also a near neighbour.
The food manufacturer, Sir Angus Watson (1874--1961), described him as thickset in stature, with a sturdy body set on short legs and a massive head covered with thick, upstanding hair, he radiated force and energy. Sir Angus continued: He had piercing, blue-grey eyes which, however, flashed with challenge when he was angry, and the short neck and closely-set ears of a prize-fighter.
William Hesketh Lever, first Viscount Leverhulme (1851--1925), soap manufacturer and philanthropist, was born on 19 September, at 16 Wood Street, Bolton. Seven years earlier, writing in The Condition Of The Working Class In England, Friedrich Engels (1820--1895) described the town as one of the worst in Britain... badly and irregularly built, with foul courts, lanes and back alleys. Perhaps ironically the site later became home of The Bolton Socialist Club (the oldest remaining independent socialist club in the country) where guest speakers have included Eleanor Marx (1855--1898), daughter of Karl. Lever's childhood, however, was not set in the squalor which Engels had documented.
Lever's father, James, was a wholesale and retail grocer, and his mother was a cotton mill manager. He had eight sisters and a brother and was a precocious child. Apparently before he could walk, let alone read, he rearranged the family's library by height order, a 'systemising' which he later said used to give me such intense delight when I could only crawl to the bookshelf.
His parents kept rabbits, but not as pets, and the young William used the opportunity to design a self-sufficient ecosystem. He figured that by growing grass on the roofs of the hutches he could both insulate and feed the animals, with a view to fattening them up for the family pot. William would take the family dog, a black and white collie named Guess, out for long walks, collecting samples of interesting plants and insects which he would later scrutinise under his microscope, a gift from his father.

Port Sunlight was built by Lever Brothers to accommodate workers in its soap factory (now part of Unilever); work commenced in 1888. The name is derived from Lever Brothers' most popular brand of cleaning agent, Sunlight.
Port Sunlight is a model village, suburb and electoral ward in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside, England. It is located between Lower Bebington and New Ferry, on the Wirral Peninsula. Between 1894 and 1974 it formed part of Bebington urban district within the county of Cheshire.

The River Park is in Port Sunlight which on the Wirral. It sits right on the banks of the river Mersey opposite Liverpool.
