More about Bournville Birmingham
Bournville is an area on the south side of
Birmingham, best known for its connections with the
Cadbury family and chocolate - including a dark
chocolate bar branded "Bournville". It is also home to a
campus of the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design. It
is also a ward within the formal district of Selly Oak.
Originally consisting of a scattering of farmsteads and
cottages linked by winding country lanes, the only
visual highlight being the Georgian built Bournbrook
Hall.
The bluebell glades of Stocks Wood were said to be a
relic of the Forest of Arden and there are Roman remains
nearby.
1879, George and Richard Cadbury moved their cocoa and
chocolate factory from Bridge Street in central
Birmingham to a greenfield site beside Bournbrook Hall,
four miles to the south. The location was chosen as it
was regarded as cleaner, healthier and more amenable to
longer-term expansion plans. Although rural, it was also
already serviced by a railway station and canal.
The Cadburys named the area 'Bournville' after the Bourn
Brook; with 'ville' being French for 'town', this set
Bournville apart from the local area (some people
wrongly believe Bournville was originally known as
Bournbrook - Bournbrook exists to the north of
Bournville). The Cadburys began to develop their factory
in the new suburb. Loyal and hard-working workers were
treated with great respect and relatively high wages and
good working conditions; Cadbury also pioneered pension
schemes, joint works committees and a full staff medical
service. Indeed, the Cadburys were particularly
concerned with the health of their workforce,
incorporating garden areas into Bournville's plans, and
encouraging swimming, walking and all forms of outdoor
sports.
In 1983 the Bournville Village Trust bought 65 acres of
Rowheath Park to develop as a solar village. At the time
of its completion, it was the largest such development
in northern Europe.
Bournville used to be served by a busy network of trams
that served much of greater Birmingham. These have now
been dismantled to make way for busier roads.
Bournville lies on the A4040, the ring road developed in
the 1920s and served by the 11A and 11C Birmingham Outer
Circle bus routes.
Road access into Birmingham City Centre is via either
the Bristol Road (A38), served by the 61, 62 and 63 bus
routes, or the Pershore Road (A441), served by the 45
and 47 busses.
Other bus services include the 84 (Hawkesley to City
Centre) and 27 (Hawkesley to Kings Heath)
Bournville is serviced by Bournville railway station.
Railway services are provided by the Birmingham
Cross-City Line to Birmingham New Street, Lichfield and
Redditch.
The National Cycle Network route five passes near
Bournville (map) towards Hurst Street in the City
Centre. The Birmingham and Worcester Canal can be joined
at the railway station and serves as a de-facto cycle
route to Brindley Place.
