History dude Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Spotted these prefabs on grounds that had back to back housing before the war. Never knew they were there. Wonder how long they lasted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Can be seen briefly in this film "At ParkSchool the children can be seen in the school yard and also crossing the street outside. Outside some of the prefabs, a class of children is setting out on a visit. Some of the prefabs adjacent to the school are being demolished." http://www.yorkshirefilmarchive.com/film/environmental-health-part-park-hill-slums-1-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysandernovo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Temporary, emergency housing erected to increase the available housing stock following the Blitz. Originally intended as a short term measure...some lasted for almost 40/50 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
