Conditions of tenancy (numbered 1-17) for a prefab bungalow in Caerleon Place, Fforestfach, Swansea. These were issued to the tenant by Swansea Borough Council during the 1950s. Around 7,600 prefabs were built in Wales after the Second World War, as a short-term solution to house people who had lost their homes due to the bombing and key workers in cities. The aluminium houses were prefabricated in sections and assembled on site. At the time, they were considered modern and comfortable with a fitted kitchen, indoor bathroom and hot water.
