Happy birthday Eric, have a super day.

Yes, there has been a lot of experimentation in the construction industry, the Bournville Village Trust has a couple of system built experimental houses, but did ultimately end up sticking to traditional build. I know the council did build a couple of unusual blocks with guttering inside a...

There are timber gutters, occasionally used on thatched building. These most likely will be solid walls. Most of the earlier Birmingham social housing was built like this. Cavity walls started to appear around the late 1920 early 30’s. there were some social houses built with cavity walls...
