Lozmic:

Close enough Mr Z. And yes the top just unscrews.

Its a surface mount single switched 13A socket. Designesd for a 3pin plug where the fuse actualy plugs into the socket. Very heavy and the switch has a reassuring action. Made by GEC.

Probably designed for days of yore, requiring a positive switching action for D.C. switching and not microgap as nowadays
