| Austin Village Conservation Area |
|
Herbert Austin built the 120-acre Austin Village in the Turves
Green area of Northfield during the First World War; it housed
over 2,000 munitions workers employed at his factory in nearby
Longbridge.
The village consists of alternate Canadian Cedar prefabricated bungalows and semi-detached brick houses that acted as fire breaks. The bungalows and houses are now private residences. |
