Cadbury's Bournville Factory

Its a very very early picture. It is the Peckett built locomotive, first steam engine at Bournville, it had left the site by 1896. Waterside didn't open to rail traffic until 1925.

I think it's in the early part of the works parallel with Bournville Lane, by what became the Station Lodge.
 
Yes, I think that is right.

The building has now gone,

replaced by a boring concrete lumo, but , if I remember correctly, the building to the right was still extant in the 1960s
