Residents living in the idyllic Bournville village enjoy independent shops, plenty of green space and charming houses while close to a city centre but they must also abide by strict rules.
Created as a model village to house workers at the nearby Cadbury chocolate factory, the Bournville Estate, in Birmingham, now has 25,000 residents living in 8,000 homes.
The picturesque scene is reminiscent of scenes from an Enid Blyton book and there is rarely trouble in the neighbourhood where the strict rules are obeyed.
