Thanks computedshorty - your reminiscences are always fascinating. I live a few doors away from the prefabs and often wonder what it would have been like to have been so close to such devastation. As I said before, the lovely guy with the fabulous garden is worried about his future. Given the premium land values round here I am sure he will be under pressure to move out. He's been offered support by some locals so he knows that people are behind him.
