Description:This nineteenth century house in Selly Oak has been much extended, originally for private purposes and since 1903 in connection with its use as a Quaker education centre (see also <a href="http://www.search.suburbanbirmingham.org.uk/engine/resource/default.asp?resource=1840">ink drawing of Woodbrooke</a>). George Cadbury donated his home for that purpose and it has attracted many famous figures since then, including Gandhi ‘father of the Indian nation’.
