These system built houses are a type known as the BISF house. They are a steel framed post-war house, designed and produced by the British Iron and Steel Federation, and erected around the country from 1946 to the early 1950s.They conform to a design concept by architect Sir Frederick Gibberd. They are not pre-fabs but a permanent system built house designed to help cope with the post war housing shortage. These in Springhill Lane have been re-clad and refurbished in recent years.
