This was a bad time for construction. The industry was moving away from traditional materials and techniques to modern stuff while simultaneously learning to cope with the fact that a man from the council wouldn't be dropping round regularly to make sure you're doing the job right. Lots of stuff was got very wrong and often with the best intentions.
