I found a house in Childers St SE8 with a sign outside that says "SELOH

There's a house on the A428 between Bedford and Cambridge called "Nimitable".

When I was a child there were two prefabs (remember *those* anyone?!)
alongside each other here in Smethiwck called "Weddunno" and "Nordowee".


Very good.

But yes, of course we remember prefabs - there are still some around
London town, though they're gradually disappearing. However there's
still the Excalibur Estate in Downham, near Catford - AIUI most of it
is on the way out, but six prefabs have been listed - see:

And as I'm sure Ian is aware some still exist in Brum e.g. Wake Green Road,
but the main reason for this post is that I really don't understand the
"SELOH ESRA" reference. It sounds like a catchphrase - maybe "Say Hello
Esra", but I'm curious as to the origin.

Thanks Paul, I (obviously) hadn't spotted that :-)
