A prefabricated house on Fairhills Road, Irlam. This type of house construction was used in many areas in the years immediately after the Second World War to alleviate the chronic housing shortages. They were expected to have a lifetime of no more than 20 years. This one still stands on Fairhills Road, its neighbours have all been replaced with modern bungalows during a redevelopment of the area in the 1990s. See Image
