Product Information

Bournville Carillon is one of just 15 left in the UK and is the largest of them, with 48 bells.

You won't find any big, brash chain stores in Bournville. There are just a handful - and they're all small, quaint independents. Some are on the Village Green, others are in Mary Vale Road .

At one time the gardens were part of the long-demolished Bournbrook Hall, which was bought by Richard and George Cadbury. The immediate fear is that the factory will eventually be closed with the loss of about 5,000 jobs, but there is also concern that the social fabric of the area could tear without the focal point the factory seems to provide for its 30,000 or so inhabitants. Although now owned by American giant Kraft and trading as Mondelez, everyone knows it as Cadbury and that will not change.But Bournville is more than just Creme Eggs and cocoa, this part of Birmingham has incredible history, breathtaking architecture, beautiful green spaces and quirky things. The Cadbury family's involvement with the company ended long ago, but the paternalism practised by George Cadbury endured long after his death.
