Wates Houses
The house pictured in the photographs below is of large panel concrete construction, where the panels are the height of one full storey. This one is probably a Wates house. It was located on an estate of like dwellings, now demolished and redeveloped. They are still a common sight on some local authority estates.
There will be two more articles in this series, then I will move onto a new topic. To have my posts delivered to your timeline 'like' my FB page at Hallworth House Survey Education, then click 'get notifications'.
