As far as I can see the earth is simply a cable bonded to the incoming cold water pipe - just before the main stop tap. There is a copper conductor that runs from this bonding to a block near the CU. All the earths from ring mains etc meet there. I can't find any other incoming earth with the supply cable(s) ie from the elec. suppliers. The house was build in the 50's and has not been rewired! Is this a TT system? thanks.
