Many pre-fabricated dwellings were put up in the UK after WW2, as a temporary measure to deal with a housing crisis caused by enemy bombing of civilian homes. Despite a planned 10-year lifespan, some pre-fabs are still with us, and are even getting listed status due to their historical significance. There were several different designs meeting Government specification and the Excalibur Estate in Catford has examples of the Uni-Seco (Selection Engineering Company Ltd.) designs.
