The corner house is one of the few still showing the use of a concrete prefabrication system. The National Coal Board in developing villages like Calverton for new and expanding collieries made use of a variety of such methods. Its neighbours have been modernised at some stage; it is not clear whether the original structure has been retained within the later brick cladding. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2558851
