Description: | These light switches were stolen by Gerald Wells during the Second World War. As a child, Gerald was fascinated by radio and electricity. He used to go around on his bicycle at night looking for bombed properties, and if he found one he would remove all the light fittings to reuse later. These light switches were taken from the empty vicarage in West Norwood. Gerald removed the vicarage light fittings over several nights, but was eventually caught. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Rights holder: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Subjects: | Home and Family | Temporal: | 1939 - 1945 | Source: | Croydon Museum and Heritage Service | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
