More information
Chamberlain was born in a house called Southbourne in the Edgbaston district of Birmingham, England. He was the only son of the second marriage of Joseph Chamberlain, who later became Mayor of Birmingham and a Cabinet minister. Joseph Chamberlain had had another son, Austen Chamberlain, by his first marriage. Neville Chamberlain was educated at Rugby School. Joseph Chamberlain then sent Neville to Mason Science College in central Birmingham. Neville Chamberlain had little interest in his studies there, and in 1889, his father apprenticed him to a firm of accountants. Within six months, he became a salaried employee.
In an effort to recoup diminished family fortunes, Joseph Chamberlain sent his younger son to establish a sisal plantation on Andros Island in the Bahamas. Neville Chamberlain spent six years there, but the plantation was a failure, and Joseph Chamberlain lost £50,000.[a]
