EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1940s, capturing a moment in time during the construction of Easiform housing in Bristol. The image showcases a dedicated man diligently fixing the shuttering for this innovative pre-cast concrete construction method known as Easiform. Located at possibly the Patchway Estate in South Gloucestershire, this photograph provides a glimpse into an era where prefabricated housing was becoming increasingly popular due to its efficiency and affordability. Developed by John Laing and Son Ltd from 1919 onwards, Easiform revolutionized the way houses were built. The determination on the man's face is evident as he meticulously works on creating sturdy foundations for these new homes. His expertise and craftsmanship are essential in ensuring that each house will stand strong against time. This image not only captures a significant moment in architectural history but also highlights the hard work and dedication of those involved in constructing these homes. It serves as a reminder of how innovation can shape our living spaces while honoring those who contributed their skills to create comfortable dwellings for future generations.
