Any of the site historians like to explain what this is all about?

It looks like one side is a 40A main fuse but the other, exposed, side attached to the 15A switch?

By the way it was open when I got there, honest.

Need the DNO in to put in an E7 meter and teleswitch, if that's how they still do it.

In the cutout you've got a 40A fuse and a solid neutral link which has been put in to replace the original neutral fuse.

Not sure what the 15A switch fuse is doing.

Is there a BS number for this type of fuse, can't see anything on the housing.

Before British Standardisation?

I would assume its a BS3036 rewireable fuse, just don't try pulling it to see what it is as it could go horribly wrong fir you?

Looks like an asbestos shield in there also.

The D.N.O don't fit meters.
You'll need the energy supplier to fit that, but you'll need the DNO to change the cast iron cutout first.

No doubt the DNO will booted and suit up for that , because some white stuff behind that and not for your nose .

No chance, approached with my longest VDE pokey stick.

Cheers, DNO is a cover all for 'not my responsibility' in my language but you're correct.

Called Electricity Northwest to get them out to sort it.
