I have these pipes in every room in the house, I’m in a terraced house and I know that they are in all the houses that are linked.
Pipes what are they?

Cut one and see what comes out. <g>
I did that once (or at least drilled a small hole after turning off the gas and water) and discovered it was copper-clad electricity!
Vaporised my drill bit, blew the main fuse and took out the supply for three flats. ;-)

Look on the end wall - it could be a tie bar preventing the walls from moving. Are there plates on the end walls?

That was my view too.
My thoughts also. Most times you do not see them as they are run between joists but since the picture shows an outside wall the joists in a row of terraces would be perpendicular to that wall and prevent the tie bar passing between ceilings and upper floor hence why you can see it. It would make a useful clothes hanger. :)
