Just a small treat for all you sparks out there.. I know it looks good! see how many treats you can spot!
The condition of the VIR Cables, visual they look good in parts some fraying in others but the cables which I can test I will not. Mainly as I do not want the hassle form messing around with them, Ive removed loads form old commercial installation in the past and Ive had some mixed experiences with them, some are OK but others are brittle and can have there insulation break and fall away. And if I'm not mistaken that had a serviceable life expectancy of 25 years and was removed from service in the late 1950's, also given its an imperial cable with no Cable details to reference in the current BS7671 I can only recommend they are upgraded to modern cables. If the DNO takes responsible for the VIR cables then for the customer the problem will go away........ possible....



Did any one see the 16mm twin and earth with a 30 amp chock block? .... Quality!
 
Hoover or Vacuum cleaner...
I'm not sure I cant remember seeing a name on the board, but in essence it's what you would expect a Ryefield board to be (A Simple Panel Board ) , possible made by some one else but its quite old as well so possible an older design as well.

yeah I know we should be grateful that the earth has been connected... after they lashed the cable in in such a hurry, its a bonus they went to the bother of using a chock block.. it really was a pure sight of beauty!;)
 
Certainly does look a bit of a lash up mate, not seen anything like that since working in London years ago. Even years back the DNO's would never take responsibility for much, looks like your going to have your work cut out for you.
