[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 455016, member: 176256"] Nice pics Topper. William Lever was a very interesting man and a real patrician benefactor. Living where I do I am, of course, quite close to Port Sunlight which he built for his employees so that they would all have good quality homes to go home to. He was born Lever but when he was enobled he added his wife's surname, Hulme, to his. When a person is enobled (or knighted) they get to choose the name they wish to be known by. The only proviso is that it has to be different from anyone elses. [/QUOTE]
