Liz Smith has appeared on our screens for around four decades,

:00:29.:00:48.

famous now for playing hislarious old women.

A lead and did not take it up properly until she was in her 50s.

:01:07.:01:13.

That's why she came to writing late. She had a difficult childhood,

:01:14.:01:15.

brought up by her grandparents when her mother died in childbirth

:01:16.:01:17.

and her father remarried. She moved to London

:01:18.:01:20.

after meeting her first husband, but when the marriage broke down

:01:21.:01:22.

she was left alone to raise two children on a series

playing serious flaws. There was humoured her.

:01:44.:01:48.

Today people in Scunthorpe said they're proud to

:01:49.:01:50.

I really liked her, I think a lot of people did.

:01:51.:01:58.

I think she stole a lot of people's hearts.

:01:59.:02:00.

It was a nice programme to watch, you know.

:02:01.:02:03.

It is something that feels like a real family.

:02:04.:02:05.

Did you know she was from round here?

:02:06.:02:07.

It is nice to think that she was because she is a good actress,

:02:08.:02:15.

To the world Liz Smith will be forever remembered as Nana

:02:16.:02:25.

A company from Hull that creates temporary bungalows that can be

:02:43.:02:45.

built in a matter of hours, says it's had big interest

:02:46.:02:47.

from local councils trying to house people.

:02:48.:02:49.

The so-called "urban bungalow" is manufactured

:02:50.:02:50.

at a factory in Hull, but can then be taken across

:02:51.:02:53.

One housing trust in Shropshire is already trialling the idea

:02:54.:02:57.

to cope with their long housing waiting list.

:02:58.:02:59.

Adding the finishing touches, to something that could help local

:03:00.:03:01.

councils house their tenants of the future.

:03:02.:03:03.

Built in this factory in Hull, then transported on the back of a lorry,

:03:04.:03:07.

the so-called urban bungalow can be built in a day.

:03:08.:03:09.

And with more than a million people on the housing

It can cover a lot of social problems that local authorities

:03:14.:03:24.

councils face such as clearly worse and vulnerable adults and for the

:03:25.:03:29.

homeless and elderly. It is one box that you looked into position and

:03:30.:03:39.

that is it, you have a house. The company make about ?7 of those homes

a year and usually I used as holiday accommodation. The very think there

:03:46.:03:48.

are other uses. And in Shropshire, one housing trust

:03:49.:03:50.

is already trialling the product. It is a lie for 60 years and it

:03:51.:04:08.

meets all the building regs. -- it is lasting for 60 years.

:04:09.:04:10.

It's not the first time local councils have used

:04:11.:04:12.

In the 1940s, prefabricated houses were put up all over Britain to cope

:04:13.:04:17.

with a shortage of accommodation after the war, and although they

:04:18.:04:19.

gained a bad reputation some survived for decades.

:04:20.:04:21.

And more recently in 2014 The Brighton Housing trust converted

:04:22.:04:24.

36 shipping containers into temporary houses

:04:33.:04:35.

and 68,000 people are living in temporary accommodation.

:04:36.:04:38.

The government estimates that 230,000 new houses need

:04:39.:04:40.

to be built every year, a target that local authorities

Councils recognise there is a need for more houses.

people on the housing waiting list in England.

:04:50.:04:54.

more than 1,000 are waiting for a council house.

:04:55.:04:58.

And in Hull, there are more than 12,000

:04:59.:05:00.

In Hull, the company says because of the interest

:05:01.:05:04.

in the Urban Bungalow, they're expanding their work

:05:05.:05:06.

For them, it's a new market, but for some people,
