Thanks, all. I'm pretty sure it is all fine but I've got someone coming to change a radiator who is also a registered gas engineer so he's going to check it out while he's here. Better safe than sorry. Interesting that it's so near the skirting board - we've got one downstairs at head height which is clearly for a gas lamp but you'd think it would be too low if it's at shin level! Can't envisage how they've have used it in ye olden days. It's nowhere near the chimney breast so it would be an odd place to put a gas fire. -

I had ones like that near the skirting board and also on the wall when I lived in a Victorian terrace. Gas guy said they were from when the house had gas lamps none were connected any longer. -
