I went to look at the remains. Rendered block construction, and a large
pile of steel reinforcement rods ?

Was that a standard construction method back then for small houses, and

Concrete raft?


does anyone remember "Bayko" - a children's building set at the time?
Steel roads and plastic panels. Must have been based on something real.
