Found this under my lounge floor. It was actually attached to a live socket at one end and the stripped end you can see was lying under the floor. The live and neutral were literally a whisker apart. And it's been like that since 1994!
Anyway, I thought it was of historical importance(!)
The house was built in 1960 and the cable is stranded, but not the CPC. The plastic is a predecessor of PVC. I'm not sure if it is Ashathene, but it is very similar. It's harder than PVC and the colour (at least of the red insulation) has a slightly translucent quality.
