Dont worry, none of this stuff is live.
Found in the cellar of an old building.
This appears to be the old distribution boards. The right hand side seems to be off peak supplies to heating, the left side is a 3 phase panel and a timer.
Board and timer:
Right side:
Surroundings:
You can see the distribution panel has been moved to the ground floor via the submain. They just left all this old stuff in. Right through the building is the old conduit, and even some lead cable which I think pre-dates even this installation.
In the cellar is some wooden moulding which looks a little like tramlines, with two recesses in it, all the corners are perfect 45 degree mitres, I have a feeling this might have been our equivalent of America's knob and tube cabling. There's also some metal conduit with old cloth cables hanging out of the ends. On some of the walls are old metal toggle switches, which feel like they would work perfectly if connected.
In the back warehouse upstairs is an old hoist machine, which was used to lift goods to the upstairs warehouse via the back doors.
Enjoy!
