Instant Homes

It's 1964 and new homes and housing are badly needed and Anglia TV's 'Here and Now' series reports on a quick and cost effective solution to the post war poor living conditions.

A factory in Lenwade, Norfolk is producing industrialised buildings or 'Instant Homes' , the result of a new building technique using flint panels developed in a factory. In Morris Walk, Woolwich these innovative kit parts are erected as part of a 2 million pound housing scheme. The workers like it too as it's not subject to weather conditions and provides work throughout the year. But is this the answer to a housing utopia or are bricks really best?
