World War II Pre-fabricated Housing.
These Hawksley BL8 aluminium houses or 'Prefab's' as they are known locally were built between 1948-1950 for a short term solution for post war housing shortages. They were intended to stand for no more than 10 years.
Some 69 years later the 60 or so built in Beeches Road Chelmsford (UK) are still extant!
