Hulme, Manchester, 01/08/1967. A block of 12M Jespersen flats under construction in Hulme, showing a wall panel with inset windows about to be hoisted into position. In 1963, John Laing and Son Ltd bought the rights to the Danish industrialised building system known as Jespersen (sometimes referred to as Jesperson). The company built factories in Scotland, Hampshire and Lancashire producing Jespersen prefabricated parts and precast concrete panels, allowing the building of housing to be rationalised, saving time and money. This site in Hulme was built in 1967 with parts supplied by the John Laing Concrete factory in Heywood. The slide is part of a batch taken to show building construction with 12M Jespersen factory made units and examples of window and link units, plus thermal roof material and fascia fittings.
