Introducing the 'chocolate-box' Birmingham village where pubs are banned
Bournville, a picturesque village in south Birmingham, boasts a unique history and is famed internationally for its Cadbury chocolate factory. Established by George and Richard Cadbury in 1879, the village is home to beautiful parks, clean streets, and charming cottages. The Cadbury brothers aimed to provide quality living conditions for their workers, resulting in well-built homes with large gardens. The Bournville Village Trust was established in 1900, and to this day, adheres to its founder's wish to have no pubs within the village. Despite its idyllic setting, the village is perhaps best known for producing beloved chocolate treats enjoyed worldwide.
