Re: Post-war prefabs, does anyone remember them?
Yes Baz, I well remember rows of prefabs in the town next to us, although I was never in one.Re: Post-war prefabs, does anyone remember them?
Excellent articles, Baz, thank youRe: Post-war prefabs, does anyone remember them?
One of my aunts used to live in a prefab after the war and I can remember how we loved to visit her as it was so cosy and warm inside.Re: Post-war prefabs, does anyone remember them?
The Taylor Hall estate and an estate in Heckmondwike were composed of this type pre-fab building. Can't remember them being warm and cosy though. The inner walls were less than an inch thick filled with glass-fibre sheets. External walls weren't much better. The houses were heated with the old style block storage-heaters (very inefficient) and if it wasn't for the subsidised electricity schemes, would have been very expensive. Stiflingly hot in summer too.Thread Tools | |
