Has this any failings do you think? The door can be replaced.

There's no stopping me now.

  • Hmm the 'head' is new, but presumably originally also cast iron, and perhaps neutral or negative pole fused. I see that Cardiff had AC from before WW1 but also DC at 200, 400 and 500V as well. The PILC could be from almost any time from about 1900 to 1970, but the modern earth clamp is an addition. The use of tongue and groove as a back board, rather than ply or chip suggests pre-war.

    my guess is 1920s perhaps, and original to the age of the house, rather than retrofit to victorian or earlier.
    The yellow tape as a seal on the company fuse will be early 2000s, as are the 'new color' tails.
