The house I live in was built about 1910 - so quite modern then!
All these houses were originally "Wired for gas".
Later on this new fangled electric thing was added. One socket per house or one upstairs and one downstairs. Wow modern.
Later on some sockets and lights were added.
Late 70s I rewired it and then added/ammended over the years, I did find much pipework in lead in walls and over ceilings for the old gas mantles for ceiling and wall lighting. Plenty of horse-hair in the plastered walls too.
