Would that have been all 6 of them?

Seriously how many sockets did you fit?

yes, serious typo (1964)

around two dozen sockets - all doubles as I recall. But we left that
house in 1977, so I can't be accurate


Much better than the house I referred to. A new build (1972) which was a
3 bed detached had 2 x 1 g sockets in each bedroom, the lounge, the
dining room and a 1g socket on the landing and in the hallway. No idea
what the kitchen had as that was the only room with some alterations.

when we moved in, there were 4 x 15A sockets - one in each bedroom and 1 in
the kitchen (a 1946 install)

2 pole fused presumably. Such setups were sometimes joined up to make 2 ring circuits, each run on 4x 15A fuses.
