A council house near me was found to have its original late 40s wiring in the early years of this century. Rubber-coated stranded copper wire wrapped in a cotton sheath. Even the plugs were an old type, with the live pin being a screw-in fuse (Dorman Smith). They used to be called "Corporation Plugs", as only the city council could sell them.
