Bromborough Pool - 20th Jan 2008 6:40pm
Whilst researching something else, I discovered that there was another "model village" which pre-dates Port Sunlight by almost 40 years. It was built by the owners of Price's Candle Works for their workers. You can see it on the right hand edge of the map. It seems to be still there today; on Google Earth the location is
53-21-02.59N 2-58-48.74W
On the same map, dated 1899, you can see that the development of Port Sunlight had only just started. Building did not extend beyond Bolton Rd. at that time.
Cheers, Chris.
