Best remembered for bringing soap to the masses, William Lever was driven by Freemasonry’s strong philanthropic values.
When demand for soap began to outstrip production it was time to expand. Thorough searching of land registry maps offered a solution: Lever designed and oversaw the building of a large-scale social experiment. Between 1899 and 1914, 800 houses were built for a permanent population of nearly 4,000 workers, managers and administrators.
Once completed, Port Sunlight housed not only the new factory and offices, but also a hospital, church, technical institute, museum and library, auditorium, gymnasium, a heated outdoor pool and refectories for workers.
