Does anyone know what this is?

Trying to decorate for my elderly mother and found this in her bedroom. The other side of it in the joining room is the 2nd pic

It looks like a switches fuse outlet for maybe a panel heater before the wet radiators were put in.it might be worth getting an electrician in to have a look and either remove them safely, disconnecting them from any supply, or changing the faceplate to a socket and moving it slightly so it can be used.

it's a fused connection unit. (FCU). you need to ascertain if it's still powered up or is it redundant. best advice is to get a local electrician to check,/isolate/make safe.

Then it’s worth getting it looked at. Maybe at one time it was 2 heaters back to back... It looks like there has been a switch on that side of the wall as well.

2nd pic looks like something out of Tom & jerry.

It's a Tenby switched/fused spur with supporting evidence that most plumbers are idiots.

At least the screw behind the pipe is missing so the plate can easily be removed from the box!

If it was still there and hidden behind the pipe... just use a Birmingham screwdriver..
