Post war 'temporary' houses, Northern Road
Originally designed to be replaced decades ago, many of these houses still remain. "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".
