Bournville Junior School
Bournville is home to one of the finest musical instruments of it kind in the world. The 48 bell Bournville Carillon was installed by George Cadbury in 1906 as is seen as a landmark surmounting the buildings of Bournville Junior School adjacent to Linden Road. The sound of the Carillon is magical in the open air as music of a variety of styles and composers is played by the skilful Carillonneur. Recitals are played Friday 5:00pm and Saturday 12 noon and 3:00pm Admission is free.
