Engineer, nice info there, did you already know, or did you go hunting for the items in the pics?

I new Veritas made pressure lamps and stoves plus I can remember small ovens that mounted on top of Primus stoves.
I also new one of Alpha Laval's main products were centrifuges and that they made milk processing kit, searched Google images, bingo!

Old heater in 3rd bedroom.
Ohh! I think that's an old Tilley heater, isn't it? They burn parrafin. I'd love one of them for when I go camping.
Most of the time, cottages like these aren't really all that interesting on the inside in my opinion, but I love the stuff that's left inside this. That big old torch is fantastic too. Good find.

I do not usually venture out that way, and on the occasions that I do, I rarely take into account the road names, especially when I'm trying to keep my eyes on the road
But thank you anyway.
I bet you have driven post it before, and not even known it was there, I did
Yeah Now I have zoomed out and realised where it was, I think I have driven past. I'm fairly sure there is another house quite near there that is also derelict. If it's the right one, I have some photos of it, will have to dig them out.

To use a classic phrase - 'Oh no it's not!'. The object is a bog standard and very inefficient radiant electric fire. In my childhood days one plugged them into the nearest light socket - using a double adapter if it was dark and you also needed the 60 watt light bulb.
The 'Plaque' is off a draughtsman's drawing board - the pulleys guided the wire that supported the 'tee square arm' counter weight.

Curiously, isnt it the same heater that James Bond threw into a bath with a bad guy in one of his films?

Nope, I think you will find that's a Pifco electric heater from the 1950's
