The style of the printed lable has that 20's/30's look about it as

late 30's!

There we go then, orginal equipment.

I will call the DNO on Monday, to ask for an isolator to be fitted, with
a bit of luck, they will see how old the cut out is, and change it!

They might, it maybe old but still looks pretty servicable, now if the
cover was cracked, or the hinge broken. Bear in mind that changing it will
almost certainly involve live working for who ever does it and the incomer
is no doubt 80 years old as well and might not take kindly to being messed
about with...
