looks a bit like my dad's... I managed do the entire

switches,
lights, storage heaters etc, was re-used stuff; even the consumer
unit was second hand...
What is a "consumer unit", Rob?
I was going to ask that too. Metering stuff? Or what we in North
America call the breaker panel, perhaps? A distribution panel of some
sort, as the fuse/breaker arrangement is different in the UK than NA?
I've never been clear on all the in-house mains arrangements/
requirements in the UK.
