The date of this council-built block strikes me as unusual, because the construction industry can't have been functioning at normal capacity during the war years, especially the crucial year of the Blitz. I assume the availability of manpower and materials would have been a problem, but this building, at least, was completed - possibly during the lull before the storm, known as the 'Phoney War', between Sept. 1939 and May 1940.
