A line of 'pre-fabs' rapidly approaching their final moments. The workmen are in the process of clearing the front gardens prior to demolition of the properties themselves. They have survived for at least 60 years to my knowledge, as I used to pass them on my way to primary school, and are thus well beyond the 'sell-by' date for such 'temporary' housing.
