While on our travels as electricians we came across this old type 13amp single socket! This is not a job we came to look at but I felt I should let you all see how things used to be done.
Can you see that the socket is no more than 50mm above the floor, must be awkward to use this socket. You probably also notice that the socket is not on a ring main and more than likely fed from a junction box under the floor or from the back of another socket.
There is only one cable feeding the socket from below disappearing under the floor.
Also in my experience as I have come across this a few times in the past, new type rcd’s do not like this old style socket. I guess this is a case of new and old not working together in harmony!
