Unidentified conduit

[Crakkers]

Hello.
Pulling up floor boards in bathroom and I’ve come across what looks like a steel conduit. I say steel as one part is rusted. But what does it contain? Any ideas? I don’t want to cut into it in case it is of use, but I could do with removing it as it’s in the way. See photos.

Btw, semi detached house circa 1935.

Thanks in advance for informed help.

Why not undo the 3 screws and have a look. Most probably power cables. Can't be gas or water as that Tee isn't suitable.

Old electrical conduit without the ag of cutting threads. Found this in my son's place.

How do I check if still in use??

Definitely conduit for older style electrics

Can you follow it further along?

It should have been replaced with modern wiring, decades ago - has the place been totally rewired?

Even then, the only way to be sure, is to trace where the conduit comes from, and goes to. It the ends are just cut off wires, then it should be fairly safe, to hacksaw through the conduit, and entirely remove it. If in doubt, get someone qualified in, to check it for you.
