Is this old Rediffusion cable TV wiring on the front of my house? (UK)
I’ve recently moved into a property in London and am trying to identify some fairly chunky black cabling/trunking attached to the front elevation (photos attached).
It runs horizontally across the front of several properties on the street, including across the full width of mine, and in places appears to bridge the gaps between neighbouring buildings.
From a bit of research, I’m wondering whether this could be remnants of the old **Rediffusion cable television system**, rather than anything related to the electricity supply. Given how substantial/chunky the cables are, though, I don’t want to make that assumption and have contacted UK Power Networks separately to check.
I’d ultimately like to have the redundant cabling removed from the front of my property, so keen to establish what it actually is first.
Does anyone recognise this type of installation? Does it look like old Rediffusion infrastructure, or could it be something else?
Thanks!
