 “The Electric Installation is of the most perfect type and on the duplicate interchangeable system. At the far end of the Stable yard is a substantial Engine House having glazed white brick walls, and with coal cellar, boiler house and store adjoining, and containing two ”Davey Paxman" loco type boilers (each of 20-h.p,) with feed pump, steam injectors, etc. A spacious Dynamo Room, in which are two “Raworth Universal Brush Company's” engines and dynamos of 40-h.p., direct coupled. In this room is a very large marble switch-board which controls the whole of the installation, and there are also charging boards for small accumulators and electric broughams, overhead travelling crane, telephone to House, laundry and to the electric fire pumps. The electric current, which is 100 volts continuous, can be supplied direct from the dynamos, as well as from the 54 storage cells in the Battery Room, and which are of 1,200 amperes capacity."

    I worked at a large country house where my great grandad had been a gardener for the Players (cigarette) family in the early 1900’s, I found loads of lead gas pipe work, but it had never had a mains gas supply. 

    There had been an acetylene bank outside the back door with water dripping down onto carbide, the owners who I worked for said it was still in place when they bought the house and they tried it out once, and only once, as it produced eight inch long yellow and sooty flames and once was enough.
