The History of Bournville
Bournville has an interesting connection with Weston-super-Mare’s post-war housing and aviation history.
The neighbourhood existed before the Second World War but expanded significantly during the years that followed. Roads were laid out for a southern extension of the estate from late 1945, and 184 prefabricated aluminium bungalows were subsequently constructed.
These prefabricated homes were manufactured in former aircraft factories, including the nearby Oldmixon factory. They provided urgently needed accommodation during the national post-war housing shortage.
Redevelopment began during the 1960s, when the temporary prefabricated homes started to be replaced with permanent housing. Historic mapping indicates that the remaining prefabs had been removed by the mid-1970s.
Although the original prefabricated properties have disappeared, the neighbourhood’s development remains closely connected to Weston-super-Mare’s industrial and aviation heritage.
