Elizabeth Newell writes: “Its sporting and musical history have ensured that Liverpool is known throughout the world, whilst Capital of Culture 2008 has made it one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Port Sunlight is a beautiful garden village built by 1st Viscount Leverhulme to house his soap factory workers. Lever was an obsessive collector, and believed that Art improved people; amongst the Lever gallery's treasures is an exquisite collection of 18th century English furniture, decorative Wedgwood and Pre-Raphaelite paintings.”
