Do we know where the wire went to, it presumably wasn't just hanging? Possibly to an Ebonite or similar feed through rather than a sloping wire.
You were allowed 100 feet I think, for a typical garden aerial, but if you didn't have room a vertical would have to do.
I'd expect it to be 20s-30s, not much later.
