St Georges Court, a Georgian style building in Bournville. This was built in 1927 as service accommodation for young ladies who were effectively housemaids to those working all day. Traditionally women working at Cadbury's were expected to leave their work when they married, however, women who didn't married and continued working tended to employ the services of these house maids. Yes, I know the world of work has changed considerably since these times and in the 21st century such ideas are very un-pc. Today this building has been converted into single bedroom apartments.
