I knew people in a prefab in the location you describe, their name was Mary and Arnold Oates they had two sons, I believe they called the road Teynham Rd that ran off Herries Rd. I lived in Grimesthorpe and as you say the low loaders delivered the prefabs in sections, it was a source of wonderment for a young kid to see these being delivered and erected on a prepared slab. I remember me asking one of the drivers or either him offering me a ride to go and pick another load up and I must have asked my Mam if it was OK because we went to Doncaster to pick another section up. Gods truth, it was another time and era I suppose.
