Real estate agent CBRE has been appointed to sell the freehold of the consumer goods giant’s seven-acre site, after it confirmed the closure of the factory last year.
The site on Liverpool Road in Warrington closed its doors in October last year after 135 years, 10 months after Unilever reported that the factory was running at less than half its capacity. Some employees remained on site until January this year, when the site finally closed.
At the time of closure, 116 people were employed at the factory, which made Unilever’s Persil and Surf washing powders. Unilever has since moved most of its manufacturing operations to a partner in Europe, after citing a “sustained and irreversible decline” in demand for washing powder.
Original plans for houses on Greendale Road are included in the exhibition A village trust has launched its first online exhibition, with the plans that built Port Sunlight taking centre stage. Drawn Together is the final output of a partnership project to digitise and increase access to the original architectural drawings of Port Sunlight Village. The project has been made possible through a Sharing Heritage grant distributed by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Led by Port Sunlight Village Trust (PSVT), the online exhibition brings together for the first-time collections from Unilever Art, Archives and Records Management (UARM), National Museums Liverpool (NML), Wirral Archive Services and Bolton Libraries and Museums Service.

Moyglare s bloodstock advisor Fiona Craig noted that the restrictions on travel have been far from ideal, although she explains that it was possible to work around those concerns while formulating mating plans with the stud s owner Eva Maria Bucher-Haefner.
