Mance Electrical

About Professional

In 1895 Launceston became the first city in the southern hemisphere to be supplied by hydro electric power when the Launceston City Council opened the Duck Reach power station and installed electric street lights.

In the early 1900s William Mance worked for the council as a carpenter, building new houses, when electric power became available for home use. In those days the cloth covered cables were laid in a grooved wooden slat with another strip of wood nailed on top. This is called cap and casing.

Being a carpenter, it was William’s job to cut and install the cap and casing to hold the wires. He quickly progressed from doing the woodwork to laying the cables and then to connecting the ends of the cables. The family legend is that one day William went up into the roof a carpenter and came down an electrician.

William started his own business, WC Mance & Sons in 1920.
