The land behined was a council housing department maintenace yardJust looking at that it looks as though those six prefabs occupy more land than the nine houses opposite.
That's where my ex's sister Maureen's boyfriend worked. I believe they did eventually get married.The land behined was a council housing department maintenace yard
Morturn, since when has it been the policy of the Council to consider the needs of the people who put them in office and who they are supposed to serve?The council, in their infinite wisdom demolished the two-bedroom prefabs and replaced them with one-bedroom flats thinking they are just what OAP want.
Of course, they did not ask OAPs, who really wanted a two-bedroom house. Having a spare bedroom that’s a place for friends and family to stay occasionally is quite desirable
Just picked up on this thread.We have lots of pre-fabs in our village, mainly for housing "The elderly". They`ve all been recently refurbished & are in great demand. My wife fancies putting our name down for one, but i don`t fancy living in such a small space. I will leave this house only in a wooden ( or cardboard ) box, but not till i`ve had a telegram from the Queen. ( probably Prince Charles by then )
Yes, just one , it was at 85 Moat Lane.Does Avoncroft still have the Pre fabs from Moat Lane Yardley?
Brays Road junction with Barrows Lane?
Thanks, didn’t realise it had been posted before. Viv.
My uncle managed the newsagents just round the corner on the right.
Not prefabs but very interestingDon't look like prefabs to me, and the style of the postcard would seem to be prewar
