We still have this houses in Portugal, called "choça", near Marvão. And arqueologic sites like "citania de Briteiros " and "citania de Sanfins "

Thank you so much for reminding me of the wonderful childhood memories of living in a prefab in Plymouth in the 1960’s, ❤️

The masai had similar homes in Africa

The rotary quorn looks quite efficient. I once collected some unharvested wheat from the edge of a field and ground it down on a paving slab using a stone. It was an incredible about of work, produced enough flour for two buns.

CE is common era.

The East facing door is not facing the prevailing Westerlies.

I was born in a two-bedroom prefab in Cambridge, 1946, alledgedly the first British baby to be born in a prefab, though I was too young at the time to be aware of that! Will have to visit next time we are in Amersham.

I'm amazed by who these buildings were taken down and reconstructed at the museum. Had a great time there recently, the curation and explanation of the exhibits is excellent. Highly recommended!

Ace museum, excellent conservation of many historic buildings and artifacts. Well worth a visit!

So why don’t the government think about building prefabs materials will be much better now than they were back then

Guys a dweeb

Visited the Museum a few weeks ago with my grandchildren, highly recommended as it has many relocated buildings of different eras maintaintained to a high standard. Well worth a visit.

I think they're needed now. Either that or unlived in investment properties should be requisitioned by the nation!

With the wide world housing shortage people would be delighted with these today!

History is very important. Especially those things made and used by "The Common Man/Women". Many Thanks!!!

1940s Prefab at Chiltern Open Air Museum Chiltern Open Air Museu love louis shirley

Isn't it sad how British history is being erased? And even more so how British people are being replaced....

Fantastic! This is what yt is supposed to be about, not the poo it's full of these days!

Wot is ce I'm switching off now buy

They look like ..... just "going on holiday" ........... so cozy and different 🙂 . All you need is a local fish and chip shop 🙂

The prefabs were just great

There is still a whole estate in Swindon of prefabs

My nan was the last reluctant person to leave her prefab. It's was lovely and spacious. Everyone had a beautiful flower and vegetable garden... Except my Nan's. She hated gardening😅

Start building them now! There are people desperately needing housing.

asbestos?!?!?!! that cancerous!!1 hope that they got rid of it... I love that these prefabs all came with a garden and that the Dig for Victory became "dig for plenty" we should still ALL have a garden!! GROW YOUR OWN FOOD!!

What were the asbestos cement panels ,replaced with after the reconstruction ?

Prefabs we're great

I was there this summer and loved it. Especially the barns, but this prefab was a delight to see!

I was brought up in a prefab i loved it ,happy days

Simpler times and happier people.

This is the typical dwelling of rural Zimbweans when I was a child probably many still today. Floor and walls were smoothed andhardened mud, central cooking fire smoke simply made it's way through the thatching. Before colonisation the Zimbweans were living in the Iron Age, of course it's politically charged to say this, but so what.

I was born in a prefab in 1956 in Scotland .I loved the house but they were pulled down in 1961 and we moved round the corner into a new build 2 storey house. There are still several prefabs about in Scotland though most have had the outside walls bricked up and central heating installed.

A small few of these left in south Yorkshire . Rented because you cant get mortgages for them.

Sharpe : I didn't choose you

Noice

As a kid in the 50s, I never understood why those 3 flying ducks on so many walls were so popular?

Better than the so called modern houses. It even had a fireplace! I would take one over a new house anytime.

What a wonderful presentation! I thoroughly enjoyed this - thank you very much! 🙏🏼

a couple of people mention them being cold with condensation running down the windows well I think condensation down the window was just normal pretty much everywhere if it was cold. Double glazing and central heating were rare even in the mid 1970's. We got a rather nice terraced council house, (built in 1929,) it had a fireplace in the living room, back room and two of the three bedrooms. My mum had to pay to have the gas fires installed in about 1975-6 she had three gas fires put in living room, back room and the big bedroom, (for nan.) this was fairly normal and if it was very cold then upstairs was cold - perfectly normal. BTW the house we came from in 1970 was built in the 1840-50s still had gas lighting an outside WC (only) and we used a tin bath, getting less common by then but not rare - the entire street was knocked down in 1970. Lots of people would have regarded a prefab as a big improvement.

I feel like saying thank you and blast you at the same time! Most importantly THANK YOU for putting this short and rather ruined video online. I live next door to a prefab and it is nice to see how it would have looked early in its life . . but Blast you for the tinny quality of you naration, the horrible la, la, la whistling, (WHY!) and worst of all completely ruining the video by putting the text of your narration in large letters all over the video in in such a bad way. Please consider uploading another version of this using the video before you added the whistling and text. If you really want the text to be on the video put it where it belongs BELOW the video not over it. Rant over. I am glad someone has saved at least one prefab and you were sensible enough to take some 'spare parts' when they were available. I hope you are able to preserve it for many more decades and you can get some sort of grant to help with the costs.

This is fascinating! Thank you 😊

I love the way he casually mentions milking a cow. Aurochs were huge. Absolutely huge. Cows now are shadows of that ancestor, & even so, a cow with a calf can be very dangerous. I for one, can't imagine casually milking an aurocks. I believe that the only milk they would have accessed would be from dead, but feeding, cows. They may have then kept the calf, - for a period of time, until meat was needed, & thus started ' domesticating' them by breeding the smaller & less aggressive individuals.

What's ce? You said 47 ce. Never heard of that. Another attempt at changing our language .It's bc or ad!

Don’t forget: corn = wheat. Corn is what they called wheat before the discovery of maize from the New World.

As a child born in 1962, I grew up with my grandparents in two prefabs in Pantyrawel, Ogmore Valley, South Wales. I still remember every inch of their layout. Our last one was demolished to make room for new housing in 1974 and we moved into a new house at the other end of the street, where the other prefabs had been knocked down to rebuild on the street. Going from two bedroom prefab to three bedroom house with central heating and so many rooms was like being being given the keys to Buckingham Palace - but I still have fond memories of our prefabs; they are where I played as a kid. I also loved the Utility Furniture that we had - so much so that I now reproduce it!

thought they used to eat each other in the iron age

This is so cute and cool! Lots of love from Denmark 🤗

Asbestos made is a problem.

Amazing! Love the ‘Hilda Ogden’ doings on the wall. Thank you 😊
