An earth wire screwed into the wall.

Whilst boxing in the side I noticed earth bonding cables connected to the
bath feed pipes, but didn't pay much attention to them. What would be the
purpose of an earth cable fixed to a brick wall?

Is it definitely just screwed to the wall - ie, any chance that it's
connecting to some wire or other buried in the wall?

When did bonding regs originally start? Not that long ago AFAIK, and
interesting that this one is obviously a modern cable.

Clutching at straws, but could it originally have been a just wiring
point for multiple bonding wires to connect to?
