Description

'Easiform' was a method of in situ pre-cast concrete construction which John Laing and Son Ltd developed from 1919 onwards.

A similar image was published in the July 1949 edition of Laing's monthly newsletter, Team Spirit. The image shows the 'Sturminster Road site' which was Bristol housing contract No.7, and the article talks about the unusual conditions at the site.

This image was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20.
