I never saw domestic house wiring in PVC until the '60s. Although it was
common for some types of flex. Perhaps Aberdeen was rather conservative.

===============================
It was certainly available in the early 1950s but I think it may have been
available as separate single cables rather than sheathed.

There was one of those 'crazes' in the mid 1950s for using PVC covered
wire for making bangles, bracelets, fancy belts and even woggles.
