Haha. Yes I did think it was a rather large fuse! The whole house is built on a massively over-engineered scale. The joists are 9" by 3 1/2 (some 4") and I'm sure they don't need to be. The roof members look like they could hold up a church spire (and as a church bellringer I've seen the inside of many church spires). I've no idea why they did things that way. It's quite a big detached house but not a mansion.
I'll try to take some pictures of an intact (but dead) run of old cable. The trouble is, I can't remember which floor board to lift to find a good bit.
