Sorry Trev, but 2 chandeliers, you walked right into this one mate i couldn't resist :biggrin5::biggrin5::biggrin5:

 

[trev]

So again Tel needs a history lesson.

First street in the world lit electrically, Mosely Street in Newcastle
First person to have hydro-electric power in his house. Lord Armstrong

And he invented the mechanism for London's tower bridge and for our humble swing bridge in Newcastle. Still in use too.

I beg to differ Sir..The first street lights to be installed in the uk, where on Embankment London. Which used arc electric lighting

 

[trev]

Google is your friend Dave

 

[ruston]

Ours was the first to be lit by incandescent lighting.

 

[tazz]

Google is your friend Dave

Hence the reason I stated arc lighting.....Newcastle was the first city to be lite by incandescent lighting 2 years later

 

[trev]

I stand corrected and apologise accordingly. That'll teach me to read a post properly

 

[ruston]

Mosley Street - See Newcastle

 

[R G]

Google is your friend Dave

Its not Dave , its Rodney...lol....

 

[davesparks]

Godalming was the first town to have a public electricity supply

 

[tazz]

But in all truth Trev....big difference from lighting up a long road like Embankment....to a whole town like Newcastle...lol
