[75462] Bournville : Carillon
The Carillon, Linden Road, Bournville, Birmingham, 1902-05.
By William Alexander Harvey (1874-1951).
Grade ll listed.
With 48 bells, Bournville Carillon ranks as one of the finest and largest instruments of its kind in Great Britain. George Cadbury commissioned the Carillon as a gift to the Cadbury workers in 1906 after a visit to Bruges, Belgium.
The Bournville Village Trust Estate.
The houses and other buildings on the estate were influenced by Arts & Crafts principles and many were designed by Cadbury's resident architect, William Alexander Harvey. Trained at the Birmingham Municipal School of Art and aged only 20, Harvey was to have a great deal of influence in realising Cadbury's ideas for a garden suburb that was within the aspirations of working people.
