A pair of BISF Type A houses, Charter Avenue, Canley
There are around two hundred of these houses in Canley, a post-1945 Coventry council estate; for more information about them, see Image], which links to some other examples depicted on Geograph, from various parts of Britain. In brief, they were an ingenious attempt to turn metal-bashing war industries into peacetime makers of prefabricated housing, to address an acute housing shortage at a time when labour, and especially skilled building labour, was also in short supply. The architect Frederick Gibberd and the engineer Donovan Lee designed a steel house, with steel panels set in a steel frame, to be made by the British Iron & Steel Federation (BISF), in prefabricated parts that could be assembled easily.
The right-hand house appears little changed, with steel panels and steel-framed windows visible - a well-preserved historic building, but a rather chilly one to live in, I suspect - the much-modified left-hand house looks much cosier.
