The Lady Lever Art Gallery, in the pre-First World War, Grade II-listed model village of Port Sunlight, now part of National Museums Liverpool, recently revealed its new South End galleries after a £2.8m development. The project, partly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, reversed changes made in the 1960s to reveal many of the gallery’s century-old original features. The institution houses one of the world’s great collections of Wedgwood Jasperware, including an 18th-century anti-slavery medallion. The US founding father Benjamin Franklin told Wedgwood that the medallions would have “an effect equal to that of the best written Pamphlet in procuring Favour to these oppressed People”.
