Port Sunlight Village currently has more than 900 Grade II listed buildings, a Grade II* listed church, and Grade I war memorial set amongst 130 acres of parkland. The PSVT was set up by Unilever in 1999 to “create a self-sustaining village for all who live, visit and work here”. Today, the village is viewed as “one of the finest surviving examples of early urban planning in the United Kingdom”.
