The cord was just used to tie the adapter to the plug/electrical cord to keep it from getting lost.
You could then just ignore the adapter and insert the plug straight into a wall outlet, or couple it up to the adapter and plug into a lighting pendant from the ceiling.
On that 5A plug, I remember having a lot of those around at my grandparents' house in the the 1970s. I'm not sure when the design first appeared, but I think they were probably still being made in the 1940s.

Paul,
Now there is a device I've never thought existed.
The lampholder contacts on the top of the adaptor look like brass screws.
I would imagine that any cord you used on the plug would have to be reasonably light to prevent the plug from falling out of the socket due to the wieght of the cord?.

They were made by Ediswan. I have a bunch of those lying around that I got from a guy in the UK, along with three lampholder adapters.
And yes, the string is to hold the plug and the adapter together so you wouldn't loose them. In fact, one of the sets still is tied together with its little piece of rope.
