Peterson, CG Genealogical evidence may conflict with history and tradition, but facts trump armchair speculation. Characteristics that define identity may set the record straight. istory says Captain Plato Denny, justice of the peace on Campobello Island—formerly in Nova Scotia and now part of New Brunswick— Hdeserted the isle in late 1772. Recorded tradition suggests Plato, yielding to homesick indentured servants’ demands, boarded the snow Owen and headed back to England and he, the crew, and passengers were lost at sea.1 Thirty years later merchant Plato Denney died in Liverpool, England.2 Was he the allegedly drowned Campobello justice? EARLY HISTORY OF CAMPOBELLO ISLAND On 30 September 1767 Governor Lord William Campbell bestowed the position of principal proprietary of “the Great Outer Island of Passamaquoddy” upon William Owen, Royal Navy captain.3 On 28 August 1769 in Warrington, Lancashire, Owen, his brother Edward, and friends met to plan the island’s colonization. They proposed dividing it into sixteen shares, with thirteen shares bearing the expenses for the whole. Plato was among the proprietors: © Allen R.

Although sitting at the heart of the Merseyside conurbation, it has a feeling of not being too hemmed in by surrounding neighbourhoods. It is the last, southern-most residential area on the western bank of the River Mersey before the industries of Bromborough, Eastham and Ellesmere Port hog the river frontage. The wide expanse of the River Mersey to the eastern side of our community, with its incredible views over to Liverpool, and the presence of Port Sunlight Village within our neighbourhood to the west, put us in an enviable location.

    Chapter 2: the History of Port Sunlight

    Chapter 2: The History of Port Sunlight ‘The History of Port Sunlight’ is just one chapter of Port Sunlight Village Trust’s Conservation Management Plan. The document describes the history and importance of the village, outlines the challenges facing stakeholders in the preservation of the internationally-significant landscape and buildings, and sets out to how those challenges will be met. This chapter describes the history of the village from its foundation by William Lever up to the present day. 21 Port Sunlight Conservation Management Plan 2018 - 2028. Chapter 2 – The History of Port Sunlight 2.1 Introduction William Lever (1851-1925) and his brother, James Lever (1854-1910), built Port Sunlight village to house the workers of their soap factory. Though the company was named Lever Brothers, James never took a major part in running the business. He fell ill in 1895 and resigned his directorship two years later. The village was built in three main phases; 1888-97, 1898-1910 and 1911-21, with alterations and developments continuing until the present day. Port Sunlight holds a unique place in the history of town and country planning, and encapsulates Lever’s vision of providing factory workers with decent and affordable housing in a considered architectural and picturesque setting. Following subsequent expansion, amalgamations, acquisitions and mergers, Lever Brothers eventually grew to become the global manufacturing giant, Unilever. 2.2 Designations Port Sunlight extends over 130 acres of maintained parkland and gardens, with trees forming an integral part of the landscape. Designated a conservation area in 1978, Port Sunlight contains 1,100 structures (including houses, apartments and public buildings), almost all of which are Grade II-listed for their special architectural and historic interest.

    On the Altar and Other Relics, Found During Recent Excavations

    TRANSACTIONS. ON THE ALTAR AND OTHER RELICS, FOUND DURING RECENT EXCAVA­ TIONS (1895-6) ON THE SITE OF THE ROMAN STATION AT WILDERSPOOL (VERATINUM). By Thomas May, F. Educat. Inst. Scot. (Read I7th December, 1896.) O fresh discovery on the site of the Roman N Station at Wilderspool, the supposed Vera- tinwn of the Ravennate, has been reported to this Society since 1871, when the late Dr. Kendrick read his interesting paper, printed in the Transac­ tions, vol. xxiii. Nor has any independent treatise on the subject appeared subsequently to the publication of the late Mr. Beamont's Account of the Roman Station at Wilderspool, in 1876, now out of print. This hiatus is owing to the fact that little worthy of mention has been brought to light, the cutting of the Ship Canal, between the autumn of. 1887 a Roman Altar and other Relics and the ist January, 1894, having entirely swept away the greater portion of the Station, without archaeological result. The relics previously recovered are fully described in Dr. Kendrick's Guide to the Roman Remains in the Warrington Museum; while the late Mr. W. Thompson Watkin's exhaustive treatise on Roman Cheshire, dated 1886, summarises everything known and reported down to the date of the commence­ ment, at the end of 1895, of the recent excavations. As the most interesting points regarding the Station are still matters of uncertainty, it will pave the way for discussion to furnish a brief summary of what has been definitely established, (i) The Station itself was clearly one of secondary impor­ tance.
