Mary Vale Road
The houses on this road called Mary Vale Road in Bournville all have large box bay windows. These houses are known as the 'Alphabet Houses' as they all have names on the lintel over the front door. Though most are in alphabetic order some are out of order. These houses are just outside the Cadbury Village Trust area at Bournville and we built by a private property developer.

House on Laurel Grove
This house on Laurel Grove in Bournville was designed by architect William Alexander Harvey. Originally it was a local bath house for nearby residents. At the time many people didn't have a bath in their home so would use a local facility such as this. However, many of the houses in Bournville included a sunken bath in the floor below a sort of trap door cover, usually in the kitchen (bathrooms came later), this resulted it there not being a significant demand for this bath house so it was converted into a residential home quite early on.
