Prefabs in Chaddesden, just meant to last a few years after the Second World War still going strong some 60 years later! https://web.archive.org/web/20060625160132/http://www.picturesofderby.co.uk/area_chaddesden%20page%203.htm 2015 edit: The houses are not traditional post WWII temporary prefabs; they are BISF (British Iron & Steel Federation) houses which were designed and built immediately after the war to be permanent structures. Many still survive around the country. Here is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BISF_house to the BISF Wikipedia article.
