Editing Port Sunlight (section)

==Cultural references==
Port Sunlight was widely celebrated. In 1912, it became the subject of a hit West End musical comedy, ''[[The Sunshine Girl]]'', at the [[Gaiety Theatre, London]]. It starred [[Phyllis Dare]], one of the most popular pin-ups of the Edwardian era, and was written by [[Paul Rubens (composer)|Paul Alfred Rubens]]. The show introduced the [[Tango (dance)|tango]] dance to British audiences. In 1919, Lever Brothers made a 40-minute-long [[sponsored film]], ''Port Sunlight'', to promote the town and factory.

The Sunlight Cottages in [[Glasgow]] are rare surviving relics from the series of Great Exhibitions held in [[Kelvingrove Park]] in 1888, 1901 and 1911. These rambling, asymmetrical cottages were constructed in 1901 as replicas of two of the Port Sunlight houses. Designed in an idealised Elizabethan half-timbered style by Exhibition architect [[James Miller (architect)|James Miller]], the houses are picturesquely sited high above the Kelvin. Donated to the city of Glasgow by Lord Leverhulme after the close of the Exhibition, the cottages have been used as park workers' housing ever since.<ref>[http://www.scotland-guide.co.uk/ALL_AREAS_IN_SCOTLAND/Glasgow/Areas/West_End/Kelvingrove_Park/Kelvingrove_Park_-_Sunlight_Cottages.htm  The Scotland Guide: Glasgow: Sunlight Cottages].
