Legislation empowered the Government to buy up farms, divide them into holdings and build houses and outbuildings. This is a typical small-holding, consisting of a single-storey house and a small, general purpose outbuilding. Both are sited beside a road and built in low cost materials such as brick and corrugated sheet metal. In later times, insufficient income was brought in from these small-scale units, leading to either specialisation (in high value market gardening) or diversification into other businesses.
