Bromborough Pool Village, former home of Price's Candle Works, was built between
1853 and 1901 and was one of the first planned industrial villages in England and
like Port Sunlight was a grand philanthropic gesture, the brainchild of Julian HIll.
Plans are now under way to restore the Grade Two Listed Village Hall to its former
glory and also provide a range of facilities including residential accommodation for
autistic adults, IT facilities for residents and businesses, a commmunity hall,
a cyber cafe and shop.
