I still havent found a photo of the prefabs themselves, but I did find this link to The Trolleybus Museum in Lincolnshire  , which has a virtual tour of a refurbished prefab.

Hi all, new guy here. It was great to find a site with info about the prefabs. I lived there until they pulled them down. Absolutely brilliant place to be a child. I went to the junior school and played in pets corner. We lived in the Sheepfoot lane end prefabs and I was about 9 when we left, I can remember crying my eyes out that morning. I very recently found a girl we lived opposite to on the internet and my wife and I and my Father had a day out with her and her husband last Sunday, great stuff, I hadn't seen her for nearly 50 years! I have a few photos and will post them. I also have a copy of a page from an old A-Z showing the prefab estate.
Cheers,
Bill (Billy) Hartley.
The first pic is my brother on a bike with a cousin, the second is me and our mam.
