[QUOTE="Badger Cymru, post: 457050, member: 29772"] Thanks for your comments so far. I have photos, but can't post them here yet as I'm new to the forum. However, I have made a Dropbox link to them here: [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vuyu76qsekksqa4/AACtNe8O2b1T-BBotbPM5NO7a?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vuyu76qsekksqa4/AACtNe8O2b1T-BBotbPM5NO7a?dl=0[/URL] In the hall, about 12 inches to the left of the living room door casing, the wall light is directly above the switch. The cable between the two was damaged (somehow). He was able to fish a new wire between the light and the switch by going through the back, i.e. Into the wall from the light, across to the door frame, down the side of the frame from the living room side, then across back to the switch. He presumably didn't do this from the hall side because there is a lot of original wood features in the way. The wall is single skin brick and the wire is right up against the frame in two places. In the photos, looking from the living room side, so on the right of the door frame, two holes have been made through which the cable fishing was done. [/QUOTE]
