Volume: Ministry of Works, K.B. Unit

Description

A collection of 2 black and white negatives, showing standalone boiler or heating units. The images are presumably representative of the type of technology that was to be installed into postwar Ministry of Works housing. The images probably show the standardised back-boiler that was installed within modular prefabricated housing between the bathroom and kitchen. These boilers economised space and limited the use of extensive plumbing and pipework.

Both of the images have been catalogued and scanned as part of a 2019 project.

The original Ministry of Works storage envelope for these negatives lists the relevant division as “D.D.T.H” and the operator as "F".
