| AdminHistory | Although there is no indication given of the purpose for which Taylor Cadbury produced this address, it is possible that it was written as part of her international peace work during the early twentieth century. Taylor Cadbury was closely involved in work supporting refugees who came to England from Belgium following the outbreak of the First World War. Two thousand five hundred Belgium refugees arrived in Birmingham between September 1914 and January 1915. Taylor Cadbury served on the Executive Committee of the group which co-ordinated the support of these refugees in the city, acting as Chairman of the Allocation Committee which found suitable housing for Belgian families. |
