Treasured Places (16 August 2007)

After the end of the Second World War over 32,000 prefabricated temporary houses were built in Scotland to address the housing shortage. Partially assembled in factories, 'prefabs' used materials, such as aluminium, that were not in such short supply as traditional building resources. The 1971 census, the last to count temporary houses, showed that 3,505 remained in Scotland.
