After the housing stock was sold off from Penwith District Council to the newly formed Penwith Housing Association back in 1994, a few years later a re-fit was started to replace the old wooden windows and clad the outside of the walls to prevent damp. The housing stock was build between the late 1930s and late 1940s. The delay was because of the war. The style of building was typically breeze block which allowed damp through to the inside of the properties, and so cladding was fitted to the outside of the buildings to protect the old structure from damp.
