In the late 1950s/early 60's we had a mixture of 13 amp and 5 amp three pin sockets in our farm house. Local Council Houses (Hawarden Rural District Council) that I visited had Wylex plugs and sockets. https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Wylex1.html
Back at the farmhouse, not sure of the original supply, but can remember the overheads being changed for an insulated Live and bare Neutral. The farm buildings were also supplied overhead, 3-phase, Neutral and Earth I think. (not 100% sure about there being an earth, will have to do a drive by, I last lived there in 1973) Neither the house nor the buildings where besides corn grinding and milking machine vacuum pump, there were 20 odd cow stalls, had either a ELCB or RCCB/RCD. The house earth being a bare 7/0.029 to a water pipe.
