Re: When were ring mains introduced in domestic housing?
I've lived in Blackburn all my life - except for a brief interlude living in my Dad's childhood village for about ten months.
Dad was left a legacy in a will in 1976. Enough to buy outright a mature three-bed semi, on a country lane, on the edge of a delightful rural village in Lancashire where he was born.
A beautiful house, with a very large garden, bordered by endless agricultural land.
Very dated. Absolutely no improvements made by the elderly (sadly deceased) owner since she bought it new for £800.
Dad bought it for £8000, and decided it needed rewiring, amongst other renovations.
The local village electrician's name actually had the initials MK!
This story could go on for several instalments!
Does anyone want to hear more...?
