When we lived in Abbotts Ann, we were about 2 miles from the village itself, down a long track. |

I'm not sure the place would be recognisable now - though on Google maps it is! |

I don't think they were pre-fabs Maggie, unless you know otherwise. |

The ones at Abbotts Ann were definitely prefabs - exactly like the one my gran lived in, in Ashley near New Milton, from 1944 until 1980! :-D |

I never knew about the Land Settlement until I moved into one of the buildings, and wondered why the neighbours had a huge garden with agricultural buildings in it, and we had enough room for a shed and a couple of cars. I also thought it odd to have prefabs stuck out in the middle of nowhere!! |

Looking further in to this, in some areas, the menfolk in the Land Settlement scheme were housed in already established farms, and given some land. I presume their families followed when they had built accommodation. |

Just been on Google street view. It doesn't go all the way down Farm Road to Little Park Farm, but on the 'main' road (Red Post Lane), just past the Farm Road turning, on the right, you can see more ex LSA buildings - a pair of semi detached prefabs! :-D |
