'Permanent' post war B.I.S.F houses on Beech Avenue
The image shows a row of permanent, steel framed British Iron & Steel Houses by British Steel Homes Ltd shortly after WWII. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BISF_house
Post-war shortages of labour and materials are reflected in some of the houses where non-traditional materials and methods of construction were employed. Extensive use was made of the Easiform House, designed and erected by Messrs. John Laing & Son, Ltd. and of the Airey House, both built substantially of concrete.
