Hi... I'm trying to find out what eras different pre-cast concrete houses were built in - not just "post-war" but specific decades - if anyone can help, I'd be VERY grateful... Researching on the internet so far has only led me to government minutes etc in which the appalling condition of these types were discussed - but NOT to anything which tells me when they were built!

So this is the second one: when were ORLIT houses built?

ie., Does that mean that Type 1 Orlits and Type 2 were built in different times? Or do those dates you've given me cover both?
(And HOW do you know all this info, Tubeway - it's awesome! thank you!!)
