Port Sunlight Museum

There is now a museum that tells the story of Port Sunlight. There is a small charge for entry, but you can go back as many times as you want for free during the year. Find out more here: http://www.portsunlightvillage.com/page.asp?pageid=MUSVIL

Port Sunlight Pub

Originally Port Sunlight did not have a pub, as Lord Lever wanted his workers to be sober, upright citizens. There was a vote in 1903, however, and the workers themselves decided that a public house was necessaty, so the local temperance hotel was converted, and became the Bridge Inn. It still retains many of its original features and if you wish to see downstairs and the old servants' quarters, the staff will be happy to oblige.

Saughall Farmer's Market

There is a farmer's market at the Vernon Institute in Saughall every Saturday morning. There are the usual meat/cheese/bread/fruit&veg/eggs, but also a refilling station for bottles of washing up liquid etc. Worth a look.
