EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the enchanting scene of Bournville Village in the 1920s, as captured in this beautiful vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. Bournville Village, located in Birmingham, England, was founded in 1895 by Quaker philanthropist and chocolate magnate, George Cadbury. The village was designed to provide a healthy and harmonious living environment for its residents, with wide streets, green spaces, and affordable housing. In this charming image, we see a quintessential Edwardian scene unfolding. Children play happily in the streets, dressed in their Sunday best, while adults go about their daily routines. Houses with Victorian-style gables and chimneys line the quiet, tree-lined streets, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The village's unique design is evident in the well-planned layout of the streets, with their gentle curves and ample greenery. The village's communal spaces, including the JQ Cadbury Memorial Park, are also visible in the background, adding to the sense of community and harmony. This lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. It is a reminder of the beauty and charm of Bournville Village, and the enduring legacy of its visionary founder.
