Lancashire / Re: Heaton Park Prefabs
« on: Tuesday 02 October 18 11:28 BST (UK)  »
Hello
Is this thread still active? I posted a couple of years ago about my stories in People's Friend Magazine set in an imaginary Prefab Village in the 1950s, based loosely on the Heaton Park and Boggart Clough prefabs.

Since then, Fabrian Books have published 2 "Broome Park Prefab Village" books and I've a new one coming out on October 25th 2018. If anyone would like a wander down a prefab memory lane, the books are available on Amazon.

There's another lovely painting on my blog  - the  illustration for the second of my stories set in my imaginary prefab village. Please go have a look, and comment if you'd like to.

I hope you enjoy Daffodil Days, Barbara.  I've bought the original artwork from the illustrator of that story and the next one (I'll show the second picture on my blog after the story has been published).

So sorry about your lovely cat. It's hard losing a pet. Our old cat was 23 when she went to Rainbow Bridge. We've four dogs there, too.

Best
Pat

Hello
I write fiction for women's magazines. This thread has been great for research - trying to capture the feel of those times and what it was like to live in a prefab.
I have a story in The People's Friend Spring Special set in an imaginary prefab village - based very loosely on the Heaton Park area. There'll be another story set here in June's Jubilee issue and (I hope) more stories to follow.  I think the illustrator has done a fantastic job in capturing the era (1950s), the area and the characters.
I thought some of you might like to see the prefab painting on my blog:
