Description:Section from the film 'When We Build Again', commissioned by the Cadburys firm and narrated by Dylan Thomas, discussing the various types of housing the working-class servicemen were returning to after the war. The film was commissioned to show the government's commitment to renew construction after the war to tackle the impending housing shortage, and accompanied a publication of the same title published by the Bournville Village Trust in 1941.
