Traditional Prefabricated Buildings

Searching out Britain's old iron and timber buildings, one by one

Welcome to Lynn Pearson's blog about old corrugated iron and timber prefabricated buildings. From tin tabernacles to ancient cricket pavilions, we love them all!

Any ideas about where this pavilion-type edifice could be? Looks like it might be the pitch-oriented back of a building facing the opposite way. Sport - maybe cricket, bowls, or? Use the little green chat box to contact me.

Embleton, Northumberland

This fabulous corrugated iron garage - combining repairs, petrol/diesel sales and a small shop - dates back to the 1920s, when doubtless it would have been seen as an 'eyesore' because of its structure. But not any more! The local council sees it as a heritage asset, and it's certainly a thriving asset to the local community.

Lazy days at Scarborough, and somewhere on the field are a young Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow.
