The 20th Century Architecture of Bromsgrove
Barnes Close, Chadwich Manor Estate, Chadwich, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B61 0RA
There will be particular emphasis on the growth of post-war housing around the town, with new ways of living and the impact of new building materials on domestic topologies and aesthetics. These transformations ultimately stem from emerging domestic design and the creation of the 'modern home' in the early 20th century, making Barnes Close a relevant and topical location for this presentation.
Barnes Close was built in 1930 by the Chadwich Manor Estate for Henry Cadbury, a member of the chocolate making dynasty. The main part of the house retains many original features. It is owned by Bournville Village Trust and managed by a separate registered charity.
This event takes place during the open day at The Greenhouse at Barnes Close between 10am - 3pm. Details can be found in a separate listing.
