View from Laburnum Road at its junction with Sycamore Road looking northwards into Willow Road beyond its junction with Sycamore Road. The Cadburys opened their factory in 1879 and embarked on a programme of house building for their workers and 143 cottages were built to the design of architect George Gadd. In 1900 George Cadbury formed the Bournville Village Trust and these houses date from the early 1900s - the architect was William Harvey. The influence of the Cadburys still persists - there is no pub in Bournville. Time photo taken 2.25 pm BST (British Summer Time).
