Run in partnership with Shelter and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), Architect in the House matches homeowners with an RIBA chartered architect who has given their time for a free consultation - and the opportunity to support Shelter with a suggested donation of ?40.


Since its launch in 1997, the scheme has raised over ?1.5 million to support our work with those who are homeless or in housing need. Find out more on the Architect in the House website."

    • Could be that it was for some sort of gas powered appliance, there were many types in the past. In my parents’ Victorian house, we had a gas powered fridge freezer until the late 1970s and they were still being sold new at that time. It plugged into a sort of bayonet socket on the wall with flick switch to turn the gas on and off. 
    • 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.
