Drinkwater Gardens climbs away from Masefield Vale towards Gaer Road. For more than 50 years, until the early 21st century, dwellings along Drinkwater Gardens were prefabs (prefabricated bungalows). A total of 750 prefabs were erected in various parts of Newport to meet a severe housing shortage after the Second World War. The fencing on the left of the photo encloses a currently derelict area formerly occupied by prefabs. Elsewhere, modern bungalows have replaced the prefabs.
