Related to this I recently found out about the origins of an old electrical distribution board under the stairs in my parents house, this was Southport, NW England. I knew it wasn old and not in use but was never removed. Apparently the houses near the new tramway, installed about 1900, had an electricity feed direct from the tramway which passed the end of the street. I think it was possibly 600V DC from what I can see about tram power. I’ve never researched it but having had a quick search can’t find anything specific to the houses being fed. I’ll bookmark for later as it’s an interesting step in the electrification of our towns. [1] is a link about the trams.
