The history of the fusebox?

[chappers]

These are the oldest fuse boxes I've seen.

Top one was left in for show but long since disconnected.

The bottom one was still live and in service

What about this baby the original rewireable not actualy connected luckily

Tin foil in the grill pan though - you can't accuse them of being slovenly.

Those are cute, will come up lovely with some nitromors and fresh varnish.

Dead handy having a socket for a reading light in the bog too.

The bog was actually just sitting in the kitchen whilst the bathroom was being retiled

DIYedboy, your house will not have has electricity in 1906.

You don't know that for sure.

Electricity will have been installed at some time during or after the 1920s.

Incandescent lamps had been around for over 20 years by 1906, it was not unknown for people with large houses to have their own generators or dynamos. Not a million miles from Epsom, in Godalming, they'd had electric street lighting since 1881, and by 1915 there were over 600 electricity suppliers in the UK.

Yes, it would have been rare to have electric lighting in a house in 1906, but not unheard of.

Ive been told that electricians were joiners from back in the day, hence the timber trunking you used to see

Should've seen the kitchen.

DIYedboy, click on this link. The instructions are pretty easy to follow.

From your first set of pics, I assumed that it was a property that had been gutted by fire, though these pics would suggest that it is just filthy, what's the story with that place?
