Description

The image suggests that this group of prefabs were named Churchill Cottages, however it has not been possible to precisely locate where these homes were built. Due to the prefabricated home’s close association with wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill, many newly created postwar homes and estates adopted the Churchill moniker.
