Author: SashaQ - towel - don't panic! - U9936370

Continuing my Museum theme, here is a village with two museums to enjoy

OO... its got a mention of Antinous..... I msut finish off the entry on him


OO... nice... I read thorugh it and didn't spot anything amiss If only modern housing was built in a simualr way... rahter than monoculture housing

Yes, I thought of you when I saw him in the gallery today - I look forward to seeing your Entry in due course

Yes, the atmosphere of the village is very pleasant, not being uniform, and hence having much more character

I can't even remember if I actually* started the entry... or just basically wrote down the title... as in 'Antinous' if ONly I had any concentration thesedays - I'm not a fan of the uniform estate look... everything too samey... and sometimes it doesn't even alter much over time...

I tweaked this in accordance with the comment attached to the Entry itself, and added a couple more links

Excellent

I thought I'd look to see how many listed buildings there were in Port Sunlight. 198 on the English Heritage website...

<BB<

Thanks <BB< - I added the link to Port Sunlight on the English Heritage listing page

I see the houses are listed in blocks, hence there are only 198 different listings, but there are many more houses than that.

You talk about people working in the Sunlight Soap factory in the past tense in a few places, but don't say whether soap is still made in the factory. (Or perhaps you do and I missed it.)

130AD - house style is for a space before AD

"Antinous, a male who was the Roman Emperor Hadrian's beloved" -- this sounds a bit odd. Normally you describe a person as "a male". You could say "the young man".

"Temporary exhibitions change regularly, and recent displays include 'The last Pre-Raphaelite' Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale, and a selection of Turner's watercolours, prints and oil paintings."

This would be better if you changed the first "and" to a semicolon.

"Initially only for workers at the Sunlight Soap factory, and later owned by Unilever3 property in the Village was allowed to be purchased during the 1980s"

I suggest moving the comma from after factory to after Unilever3.


"

Thanks Gnomon

Changes made, and I rewrote the paragraph about the statues to clarify my thinking in relation to male/female.

This looks good.

Dublin has a very distinctive building called Sunlight Chambers which was the headquarters of the same company. It is covered in stucco reliefs showing the history of soap-making. I may write an Entry on it at some stage or include it in a more general entry.

Very good

Just one question: why do you capitalise Village?

Icy

Thanks Icy

In the materials I read, the people of Port Sunlight refer to it as The Village, but other villages are available...

I therefore made some tweaks and removed the capitalisation

Port Sunlight is The Village? I thought that was Portmeirion
