When I were a Lad, many Moon ago, when I was an apprentic, worked an d lived in Bath, most of the work in those days for a jobbing Sparks, was in the local area Great Pulteney Street, Henrietta Street, only those in the know will recall the area, I got sent (I was only 17 ) to a house in GPS top floor to blank off some wall lights the Old Lady Owner didn't want any more, ( yes those type pf people did exist).
Wooden block screwed to the wall with porcelain connectors behind, Old Lady was so pleased with the finished item she wanted to adopt me. 1953 I seem to remember, anyone else of my age got any recalls? plenty more where this came from, if you want to hear them.
My life may have been different living there than a rough Council Estate in Twerton, anyone?
