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.

Could be: I was referring to TW&E or Twin 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.

PVC flex was certainly common. Usually without a sheath, too. Trying to
remember the name of the black and red twisted stuff.
