There is a complete prefab at the wonderful wartime museum at Eden Camp on the A 64 - the house is full of furniture and fittings appropriate to the time the little houses were built. Incidentally, with respect, the ones at Westfield and others similar at the King Edwards and King Georges in Horsforth are not actually prefabs, being brick built on site in the normal way - I suppose they could be called "emergency" or "contingency" dwellings or something similar. Real prefabs were factory made in panels (usually with tin roofs) and were brought by road to where they were needed and the bases were ready for them. The abbreviation "pre-fab" meaning manufactured in advance elsewhere describes the genuine article.
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
I remember some Prefabs (Pre-fabricated) at the bottom of Easy Road opposite the coal staithes and the junction with Dial Street.....I think!! They were made from panels, a bit like a garage and tended to be an off cream colour.

Sherburn-in-Elmet (east of Leeds, just over the border into North Yorkshire) had an estate of prefabs that were still there in the 90's...dunno if they still are, but they were at the top of the village behind the Springfields estate (behind the library, which is behind the Co-op!).
Asked my mum and the prefabs are still there in Sherburn, they have put new facings on to look like bricks but they still have tin roofs! Might be worth a look. I'm not sure but from looking at google earth I think they're on North Drive at the edge of the village.
