Bournville Carillon

Saturday afternoon, Bournville Green (2014) ...

"The Bournville Carillon was erected in a semi-rural location in 1906, before the onslaught of urban development and the building of the busy main road by which it now stands adjacent. Bournville, however, remains an idyllic leafy suburb of Birmingham and the sound of the Carillon drifting across the gardens of Bournville on a perfect summer's day is truly wonderful. The Carillon ranks as one of the finest and largest in Great Britain, having 48 bells hung below a domed copper cupola above the tower of the junior and infant school on Bournville Village Green. It is owned and administered by the Bournville Village Trust, which was established in 1900 by George Cadbury."

Saturday 14th June's performance was a celebration for Queen Elizabeth's birthday ...
