Prefabricated housing, Calverton

When Calverton expanded westwards in the 1950s to provide housing for miners (employed at the colliery which opened in 1952), some semi detached prefabs were erected as part of the expansion. While some are still substantially as built, at least one of every pair I saw has been modernised with a new outer wall; this odd looking pair is thus typical of this part of the village. These houses front onto a small green off Labray Road.
