How it used to be once upon a time, rubber twin+earth, sangamo time switch, paper lead service cable with seimens cut out, re wireable fuse

Is the service dead?

Lol. there was a concrete column outside my secondary school when I started in 1985 which could be opened with a coin and we were always advancing the timer to make it light up. But it wasn't long before it was replaced with a photo cell controlled Philips MI50 to spoil the fun

Looking Tidy. There are a few on the btrading estate near work that have seen better days, cracks and chunks have appeared around the service hatch. I'm guessing where idiot lorry drivers have reverse or swing unto them.

yes, these were on private land, was originally a gentlemans club, later a special needs school. was told these were erected as a favour back in the 70's for the old club from the local council, recon these were straight out the street and re fitted here as they are 100% as what was found on the street round here 30 years ago. Long derelict now, and recently all taken down so no more

That clock needs to come out of there!

dont worry, it was all salvaged

Gentlemen's club quality! Nice they were saved.... shame that you couldn't line them up in your garden again Phil 😁
