Here are some photographs of the Electricity Showroom in Bromley Cross, which we think were taken in the 1950s. The slogan on the wall inside says that
'electricity is cheap, convenient, clean and cool', and the couple shown in the advertisement in the shop window aspire to have an '
all-electric home'.
