This photo was taken at the Site 6 Communal living site which was the only living site at Burtonwood to be constructed of brick the other living sites at Burtonwood were constructed of the pre-fabricated type. 

These buildings were designed to have a life span of 10 years and were built of a single brick, without a cavity wall, with piers at ten feet intervals. The walls supported a light steel frame carrying asbestos sheeting or board and felt roofing. Outside the brickwork was rendered with cement whilst inside the walls were painted a variety of colours. The buildings had concrete floors.
