THE Prefab Museum will bring its moving exhibition to the Rural Life Centre in Tilford this weekend celebrating the 70th anniversary of the post-war prefab.

This Heritage Lottery fund project shares the heritage, history and memories of Britain’s much-loved prefabs in museums with examples like the Rural Life Centre’s well preserved Arcon Mk V and organisations with a strong prefabs’ heritage.

Anyone with memories and photos of prefabs is invited to bring them along between 10am and 5pm on Sunday, July 3, and share them with experts and visitors.

Elisabeth Blanchet, a co-director of the Prefab Museum, said: “We love prefabs because of their clever inside and outside design, their practicality, their modernism, their not-so-little gardens around, because of the communities they contributed to create, and the lovely residents who raised their families in them.

“Prefabs are a national treasure – and probably Britain’s most successful social housing scheme – a national treasure disappearing as the last prefabs are being demolished and the oldest residents passing away, a national treasure we are determined to cherish, celebrate and remember.”

Fellow director Jane Hearn added: “If you are curious about why these temporary homes were so successful and loved by their residents, and that some are still lived in, come and find out.

“We will be building the history and memories into a national archive of prefabs through our events across the UK between now and 2017.”
