    Cornish Units Exhibition - Wheal Martyn Clay Works

    This exhibition shares the story of the Cornish Unit home. Initially built as post-war social housing, many of these prefabs still exist today.

    30,000 units were built by Selleck and Nichols, a subsidiary of English China Clays, to combat the housing crisis after World War 2.

    Although problems occurred with the concrete, are there lessons from the design and build that could be learned today during another period of housing uncertainty?

    Time:         10.00am to 4.00pm

    Price:         Included in standard museum admission
