Tin tabs and prefabs...










                                                     This cottage used to stand on Seven Mile Bank at West Pinchbeck. I took these photographs in 2008 and there was a demolition notice posted outside the building, I assume that the demolition has now taken place. This isn't one of the sectional bungalows that could be bought in kit form, it would probably be made by a local smith or builder.


The photo below is of a sectional bungalow from the Boulton and Paul catalogue. It was built by James Noble, wheelwright of Gosberton who owned the adjacent house, land and forge (long since demolished). The cottage was built for James' unmarried daughter, Nina Noble who played the organ in Gosberton Church. The cottage was demolished in 2009 and replaced with a brick house.
