53.7 here. And rather old overhead telephone cable with telegraph poles to
the cabinet - quite rare in London.


but possibly more common the country. we also have an overhead line

Poles to the *house* are still commonplace in many parts of London - eg
off the top of my head Islington, Hackney, Camden, Mortlake. But those
are fed by underground cables from the cabinet. Dave referred to poles
to the *cabinet*. I'd like to see that if Streetview covers it.
