Bournville Cadbury Cadburys Chocolate Plan
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage lantern slide depicting the Plan of Weoley Hill, Bournville Village. Dating back to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era, this intricately detailed plan offers a unique glimpse into the layout and design of this historic and idyllic community. Located in the outskirts of Birmingham, England, Bournville Village was established in the late 19th century by Quaker chocolate magnate, George Cadbury. The village was designed with a forward-thinking approach to social welfare and community living, featuring green spaces, tree-lined streets, and affordable housing for its residents. The Plan of Weoley Hill reveals the village's meticulous planning, with its organized grid of streets, public spaces, and industrial areas. At the heart of the village, the Cadbury chocolate factory stands proudly, surrounded by workers' cottages and community buildings. The factory, which was a source of employment for many locals, played a significant role in the prosperity and growth of Bournville. This exquisite lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to explore the rich history and charm of Bournville Village. Its intricate details and beautiful composition transport us back to a simpler time, allowing us to appreciate the visionary ideas and ideals that shaped this remarkable community.
