The development of "exclusive" homes to which I was delivering stuff; that's my lorry in the foreground. Houses nowadays are delivered more or less in kit form: on my trailer I had three stacks of prefabricated wall panels nailed together in our factory in Hereford, about twelve roof trusses likewise and a selection of lengths of timber and metal brackets which would be used to put it all together. Then the brickies come along and build a brick shell around the wood panelling, plasterboard is erected on the internal walls and bingo, there's your house. It's amazing how quick it all goes up, and more or less an entire house can be delivered in two or three lorry loads.
