In this episode we travel to Bournville, the extraordinary model village laid out by George Cadbury on the southern fringe of Birmingham. Part garden suburb, part moral experiment, Bournville married vernacular Arts and Crafts architecture to a Quaker vision of dignified working-class life: light, air, gardens, schools and not a pub in sight!
Join us as we explore its origins, its architectural character, and the philanthropic convictions that shaped every cottage and cul-de-sac - and ask what this quietly radical corner of England still has to teach us about building well, and building decently, today.
