Mr and Mrs Arthur Finch have a home in Halesowen that looks like a Nissen hut
Mr and Mrs Arthur Finch have a home in Halesowen that looks like a Nissen hut. In actual fact it was first built as a temporary structure to house the people next door while their bungalow was being put up. After they had moved there was talk of it coming down, but the 16ft. square rooms were so pleasant and airy that jobbing builer Mr Finch and his wife decided to live there. Glass negs taken 1959
