Thanks! Such an amazing building, made all the more fascinating by talk (on here probably?!) of a very old lift and some sort of hidden hall.

It's a delightfully named 'Lucy box'Cue suitable music and much loved programme from our distant pasthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTIWWupaaZEThese electric boxes were dotted around the city, they were used for the general electricity supply, and as tramway isolators. They were built by the Lucy foundry in Oxford and were nicknamed 'Lucy boxes' This box can be found thankfully preserved in Armley Mills Museum.They don't make them like this anymore, I love the ornate detail and finial top finish. Here's some more info on Lucy boxeshttp://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/article ... xes.htmAnd this box similar to ours dates back to 1921http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/article ... boxes2.htm
