Prefab Housing

About three thousand prefab houses were erected in Edinburgh in the 1940s, to cope with the housing shortage following World War 2.

Prefab houses had an expected life of 15 years.  Most  have now been replaced, but some are still standing, and looking in very good condition, in the Moredun, and Craigour area of Edinburgh, close to the new Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

The houses here are 38 and 36, Moredun Park.
