Try again!!
No it wasn't Rice Lane Station, it was definitely known as Walton Junction back then! I believe it's been re-modelled since those days but as you walked past the ticket office ( which was more like a small house ) there was a gas lit path which carried on to the top of Rawcliffe road! The prefabs were along that path...They were they little porta-cabin type not the two story ones and they did get moved all in one go as I seem to recall! There were lots of these little sites dotted around after the war but they never seemed to look scruffy back then...People were proud of them and it showed!
Anyway...Thanks for the replies folks....

That's a brilliant pic that Joe, I love that one because those flats on Prince Edwin Lane was were my nan and uncle lived in the early 70s and we used to cut through those prefabs on our way to St. Gregorys School. Hanson's club is on there too where we used to go in the early 1980s.
