I agree with Alan. However remember that electrical installations were very different in domestic property before the war (WW2). There was no T&E, No CPCs. Little power socket installation, and cables was not sold by the local shop. My 30s house had singles in wooden capping, no Earthing and as far as I can see only 1 power socket. "Improvised" did not mean a nice extension from B&Q but probably bare wires on insulators (see some of the wartime air raid pictures from large tube ones). The Germans were much more dangerous than a bit of electricity. The attitude to risk was completely different too, we did not have a "wet" BBC to start with!
