New Farm Cottages

1960 , Swannington (Norfolk)

A BBC Look East mute news report on new cottages for farm workers in rural Norfolk.

Amidst the crumbling, outdated Victorian cottages built to accommodate farm workers and their families in Swannington, Norfolk, a housewife must cart her water from the handpump across the road. Built with the aim of providing working families with more up-to-date accommodation, modern semi-detached cottages are displayed, featuring large, bright, double-glazed windows, open-plan living spaces, fully equipped kitchens and spacious bedrooms.
