Avon Road, Tolladine, Worcester
Seen from the path to Don Road that in turn connects to Ronkswood Hill. This provides an on foot connection between two estates that are quite a distance apart in a vehicle. The terrace opposite has a flat roof and there are several units of this type in this estate.

The junction of Wolsey Close and Don Road, Worcester
These properties have the look of council/social housing. There is an awful lot in Worcester. Wolsey close is to the left and Don road straight ahead.

Houses on Conway, Worcester
Conway is this road's given name without any qualifier such as road, street or close. There is quite a large enclave of this design of houses that almost certainly are, or were, council houses. I am not sure whether these would qualify as 'prefabricated' houses and it is hard to find out anything about Worcester's fleet of council houses (numbers, styles and dates for example). There has been a lot of rebuilding on the Ronkswood estate but this Tolladine estate appears to have a larger unmodernised stock. I would welcome any more expert information on Worcester's housing.
Thomas Nugent has identified these as being in keeping with BISF (British Iron and steel Federation) houses. I agree, they do look like these -

The description points out that these were not built as temporary homes, have a lifespan in keeping with a brick built house and remain mortgageable.

Ronkswood Hill Meadows Local Nature Reserve
This is only about 1 mile from the centre of Worcester (the Cross) and is surrounded by urban sprawl. In the summer, cows graze here. The wood to the left of centre is Elbury Mount and to the right the land is rising to Leopard Hill. It is all suggestive of a more rural idyll than being close to the centre of a city.
