These pre-fab homes in York may soon be up for demolition to make way for modern housing. Built in 1975/76 the 100 buildings are known as ‘Discus Bungalows’. The wide structures are hard to photograph but I wanted to capture the unusual buildings before they are gone. I think they are lovely and particularly like the individual colours and open communal gardens.

• PREFABS: Factory homes for post-War England from English Heritage
• Palaces for the People: Prefabs in Post-war Britain the book that appears to be very hard to get hold of - I’m still trying.
