They definitely didn't come with the house, and where external ones were banned, people put them in the loft where they weren't visible.

I don’t know but I doubt it. I think it may have been a standard clause for the builders (Leech) at the time. I went to school here from 1979 and everyone had a tv and aerial then so the rule was either quickly ignored or not enforced. All the telecoms stuff is underground too, a novelty at the time

I think that, technically, the ban is still active.
