I think you're right, but back in the day they kind of just threw things wherever. Nowadays you have all these old hydro and telephone poles in people's backyards, that would never be placed there today but were back in the day.

We have a laundry line that goes to a pole in our neighbours backyard. I think in the old days people were a little less protective of their personal land for uses of social good.
