Description: | Snow was heavy during the severe winter of 1955. This scene was photographed in January near the Harrow Road.
The 'prefab' houses behind the dog contrast with the multiple-storey Victorian terraces. Prefabricated houses were the immediate answer to demand for housing after the Second World War. Many thousands were made homeless in London by the Blitz. Some were re-housed in wooden and metal prefabs, which were built in sections in a factory and delivered to the site. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Roger Mayne | Subjects: | Public services Cityscape Home and Family | Temporal: | 1955 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
