Lady Lever Art Gallery Port Sunlight.

With a fascinating history of community spirit, the Lady Lever Art Gallery sits in the middle of the quaint village. It has parking outside, both the front entrance and the side, where there's a ramp that zig-zags up to the doors. The ramp isn't great for the visually impaired as its all silver/grey with clear Perspex low-down windows that you have to be careful to avoid. It's free to enter, being a public gallery. As you go from the welcome desk area, it's like entering a rabbit warren and is easy to get lost. One room leads to another and another... Its great, especially if you love art and history. Each room is filled with pieces of furniture, some dating back to 18th century. Many paintings, artefacts and fireplaces were from Lord Leverhulme's collection, who built Port Sunlight Village in March 1888. The wheel chair access is good. The doors and an old wood flooring that doesn't squeak, is good for the tyres to roll on. Tables and exhibition/ informa
