Arfer Mo Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I worked on the very first pre fab that came to Sheffied, I can remember all of us sat on the brick foundation on South st waiting, and when the lorry turned the corner we all cheered, but we was not cheering 6 weeks later after promises of big bonuses we got 3/6! the site managers van was nearly turned over, the firm Vernon Dunk of Barnsley sent us all to Totley and Dore with further false promises.

mslotus Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I spent the first 6 years of my life living in a prefab at the top of Hinde Street. I do have a few pics of family that include the prefab. Can arrange to meet up to show you if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan39 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 An aunt of mine lived in one at Algar Place Arbourthorne, she moved in around 1945, I used to visit her a lot they were lovely cosy homes, very well designed fitted kitchen two bedrooms each with built in wardrobes, seperate bathroom and toilet, a nice entrance hall also with fitted cupboards. unfortunately the prefabs were very badly damaged in the 1962 gales and had to be demolished.
