Prefabs in Queens Road, Yardley

Thanks for posting those documents localmike. Seems that they were demolished rather later than I thought. After I had moved to Atherstone in 1984 in fact.

I have found seven columns of names (around 60 per column) in the 1980 voters list, so they were all occupied then, at least.

Does anyone know when the prefabs on Slade Road Erdington were demolished [presumably they have been]

At a guess, I would say late 70’s early 80’s. They were there still in the early 70’s when I was at school. They were rebuilt by the council as social housing, so as government policy was not to build any new social housing after 1984, I believe they were done before that deadline.

From the map on the Prefab Museum website
 
From the Council's Planning Department in 1979, about the Slade Road prefabs being replaced.
