I just found this (under a home-made blanking box) in the sixties bungalow
I'm renovating for sale:

http://tinyurl.com/9tf3vvj

It's in the kitchen wall, just below and slightly to the side of the
electric switch plate for a cooker: until I removed the covering box I
assumed that I'd find a 45A cooker connector, but it clearly isn't that (and
on a side note, though there's an empty conduit buried in the wall from the
base of the cooker switch back box, it doesn't emerge anywhere at all) - so
is it gas?

Many thanks,

Bert

Yes it's gas

That is a gas point for a plug in gas hose.

Yup, standard self sealing bayonet socket.

Thanks to everyone for the answers. I suspected it was gas but it's good to
have it properly confirmed.
