First Electric Lighting in a Private Home.

Around about Christmas 1879 a certain prominent person installed electric lighting in his home in Porchester Gardens using a battery of Grove Cells. This was not a very successful power source so a portable generator was then used.


Who was he?

    Whilst researching gas lighting I actually found out that in many buildings the gas lighting was not replaced when electricity was installed into the building, instead electric ignition was installed to the gas lighting to make it easier to operate.
