Description
A Guide to Port Sunlight Village Including Two Tours of the Village by Edward Hubbard and Michael Shippobottom is a detailed exploration of this influential model industrial village. Founded in 1888, Port Sunlight was designed as a showcase for English town planning and house design, with a focus on social and visual significance. The guide delves into the historical context of the village, examining its development and influence on subsequent urban design movements. It also considers the role of Lever's character and interests, including his architectural enthusiasms, in shaping the village's unique features. Two tours are included, one for pedestrians and one for car drivers, which highlight the most significant buildings in the village. With new information on the Lady Lever Art Gallery and an increase in illustrations, this third edition provides a comprehensive understanding of Port Sunlight Village and its enduring legacy in the history of town planning.
