The exhibition cottages were indeed built on the Flower estate, near the school. pPart of the exercise was to find an economical and easy to build design, which could be rolled out across the city. As I said in an earlier post in the thread, it was all a bit naughty, as the council didn't have to pay for the building costs but still got a good couple of dozen properties out of it all.
