EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Parade and Band, Bournville Village," is a stunning snapshot of a bygone era, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back to an earlier time, evoking the charm and nostalgia of the late Victorian or early Edwardian period. The photograph showcases a lively parade making its way through the picturesque Bournville Village, a model community established in the late 19th century by the Cadbury family in Birmingham, England. The village was renowned for its beautiful gardens, green spaces, and social amenities, providing an idyllic setting for its residents. At the heart of the scene, a brass band plays energetically, their instruments gleaming in the sunlight. The musicians are dressed in their finest uniforms, adding to the festive atmosphere. The parade participants, both young and old, are seen wearing colorful costumes and carrying lanterns, creating a charming and vibrant procession. In the background, the distinctive red-brick buildings of Bournville Village can be seen, including the iconic Cadbury Factory. The factory, a symbol of the community's industrial heritage, was an essential part of the village's identity. The chimneys of the factory emit plumes of smoke, adding a touch of authenticity to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and unique character of Bournville Village, offering a glimpse into the lives of its residents during a time when community spirit and tradition were at the forefront. The image is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
