Prefabricated housing, Calverton
When Calverton expanded westwards in the 1950s to provide housing for miners (employed at the colliery which opened in 1952), some semi detached prefabs were erected as part of the expansion. While some are still substantially as built, at least one of every pair I saw has been modernised with a new outer wall; this odd looking pair is thus typical of this part of the village. These houses front onto a small green off Labray Road.

Houses on Labray Road
The corner house is one of the few still showing the use of a concrete prefabrication system. The National Coal Board in developing villages like Calverton for new and expanding collieries made use of a variety of such methods. Its neighbours have been modernised at some stage; it is not clear whether the original structure has been retained within the later brick cladding. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2558851

House on Park Road
This uses a different prefabrication system to the one shown in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2558852. Here the upper storey framework is clad with hung tiles. The right hand house of the pair has been re-clad with brick at some stage, as have most of its fellows, leaving this as one of the few original examples. Prefabricated houses were extensively used by the National Coal Board in the post war era of colliery development.

One of the historic thoroughfares out of the old village, it marks the eastern boundary of the western housing estate built for the colliery which opened in the 1950s. Housing on the left hand (eastern) side is later, private, development.
