My daughter and her husband bought a 17th century grade 2 listed property in South Wales some years ago.
We spent some time on the electrics, some of which were still from god knows when and included live cables cut off and left in the walls and loose under the floors.
Part of that was to remove unconnected heater switches in an upstairs cupboard which looked like they were from at least the 1950s.
They recently had reason to pull up a carpet in the same room and found an old scortch mark in the floorboards.
After pulling up a few boards we discovered a large steel tube that has both plumbing and electrical connections (Hotpoint on the one end we can see).
The diameter of the cylinder is around 8 inches and is about 6 feet long with steel brackets holding it to the joist.
Both ends have what looks like a large scale immersion (Hotpoint) withe an old cloth twisted flex that had been connectedt to the switches we previsously removed
It weights a ton when we tried lifting one end.
The plumbing connections and electrics are long since disconnected but we would like to know what it is or was used for.
Thanks in advance
