        Some old, underfired clay pantiles might be damaged by button mosses rooting in cracks and fissures. But most post-war tiles are hard enough to withstand a bit of moss growth.

      • 2020 July 29, Paul Stephen, “A new collaboration centred on New Street”, in Rail, page 54:

        after the original Victorian station was demolished and then entombed in concrete in the 1960s, Birmingham New Street became a byword for the worst excesses of the much-loathed Brutalist architecture so widely used to reconstruct inner-city post-war Britain.

With reference to the World Wars, post-war (after the end of World War II in 1945) is contrasted with interwar (between the end of World War I in 1918 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939) and pre-war (before the outbreak of World War I in 1914; or, depending on context, before the outbreak of World War II).

In Western context, post-war generally refers to the period of time since the end of World War II, and often coincides with the ambiguous term post-modern. In other countries it may refer to other major wars.
