Default Steel reinforcement rods in 1950s bungalow

A knackered old 1950s bungalow near me has been demolished in the last

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
why ?



Dunno if it may help, but googling the words "characterisation study"
may hopefully find a comprehensive council document for the location. I
found mine a goldmine of local information on building history and
amenities features of my local district.
