There's also a book about Cadbury's rail system...

"A slim but nicely produced and illustrated account of the Cadbury's railway system at Bournville in suburban Birmingham, together with the the adjacent railway line and large Midland Railway engine shed. This is now a pleasant suburban backwater, with the canalside wharves being replaced by new housing, although a large girder bridge remains as a solid reminder of the system."
