“The last estate of prefabs in Southampton, as far as I know were on the left bank of the Itchen alongside the railway bridge across the river at St Denys. They were there for a long time after the war. German PoW’s built those at the back of Butts Rd. My mum had sympathy for them as my dad was still a PoW then. She took them some food and got bollocked by a policeman. He soon wished he had kept quiet.”
