It seems that I have done an unbelievable thing in nowadays world. I started my research by bringing home two books from our new Birmingham Central Library instead of using the Internet. One of the books has everything that you need to get to know The Bournville. It was written by Margaret A. Broomfield in 1995 and is called 'A Bournville Assortment'.
You can understand from the given contents at the beginning of the book that you will get not only the historical facts (which are very important), but some of the insight from the writers perspective too.
The other book is by the same author - M. A. Broomfield ( and Janette Denley) and I did not found it as useful as the first one.
The main thing written in this book is a meeting of Bournville citizens (the ones that moved away and the local ones as well) in 2001. They brought some pictures and written material from their past with them and some people wanted to have all of it in one place. That is why this book was created. Apart from containing some photographs that I could use I have not found anything else in this book.
I wont have the first book available for me all the time, that is why I made this list about where I can find the main information online:
- The main points of Bournville History, Demography, Education, Transport, Religion.
- George Cadbury
- Cadbury World History
- A bit more personal view to Cadbury's and Bournville (BBC article)
- Cadbury's and the Quakers' vision of Utopia that built a British institution (article)
- Bournville Village Trust
- Bournville Ward Attractions
