Our Freedom - Launch Ilkeston Library Nov 2025

The model of the post war prefab was launched at Ilkeston Library on 25 Nov.

There was a good crowd of people who came along, some who had participated in the project as well as local councillors and librarians. 

It was a lovely day and everyone was pleased with the artwork. 

Our Freedom - Post War Prefab

We were delighted to work on the 'OUR FREEDOM' Project at Ilkeston Library during Sept and October 2025.

We worked with adults, families and at Flamsteed Day Care to create a fabulous post war prefab miniature model. There was plenty of research from the librarians, chatting to Ilkeston folk and looking at old photos. We are extremely pleased with the end result which is now on permanent display at Ilkeston Library.

If you are passing by please do go and have a look.

Our Freedom - Flamsteed Day Care Session

We were able to work with the lovely folk from Flamsteed Day Care again.

We talked about what it was like to live in post war Ilkeston and many remembered the prefab bungalows.

We created paper collage houses using magazines and we wrote down inside all about their memories of the prefabs.
