5A light sockets aren't usually switched on the socket, you would have the switch in the wall somewhere. So just an old round pin socket.
Yep, I've got those sockets (unswitched) connected to the lights on top of the bookcases in my room in Chambers. They're switched from the light switch on the wall, with another switch for the central ceiling pendant.

If it is still connected there is a reasonable chance the cable will be fabric or vulcanised Indian rubber which is probably rewire time.
