A letter in today’s i newspaper regarding solving the housing crisis:

“In the 1940s there was a drastic housing shortage. The answer then was to build thousands of “prefabs”. These were quite acceptable dwellings. Instead of more hand-wringing and waffle, why not launch a similar programme?”

4 responses to “Bring back the prefab!”

  1. Maybe bring back rationing and "ITMA" at the same time.

  2. Would that help ease the housing crisis? ;-)

  3. My friend, Stephanie Hall, lived in a pre-fab. I loved going to tea with her and found it very exciting when her father came home from work and knocked on the wall to let us know he was outside!

  4. I lived for 12 years or so in a prefab, with 4 siblings, a mother and an occasional father. Happy times, I think, possibly, maybe….
