Hi Has anyone got any photos of the Prefabs that were on Church Road, Perry Barr. I lived there for a few years in the 60s. I can’t seem to find any photos online. I have visited the Wake Green ones. Thank you
 
cant say as i have seen any photos of these prefabs...which side of the road were they on...the pub side or the st johns church side

I can't recollect any prefabs either - would they have been near the flats in Perry Villa Drive? Not sure when they were built but maybe in the 60s?

Ah right, I had a feeling they might have been in that area.
I lived in Perry Barr and I went to St John's Brownies so I know Church Road quite well but I can't quite picture the prefabs.
Hopefully it might be possible for someone to find you a photo!
 
This post below might have been them. So possibly somewhere near where Church Road joins Walsall Road. Dont remember any at the end of Church Road where it joins Aldridge Road. Memory posted by the late Charlie on this thread here:

Thread 'Prefabs'

Do the prefabs still exist in Perry Barr (Aldridge Road or Walsall Road area) and if so, are there any still occupied?.
I remember visiting one in the late fifties and, for temporary buildings, they were very comfortable. The height of luxury for me (indoor lavvies!!!!).
