Not sure how true it is BUT I live about a mile from Filton
and in an
area where there were a lot of people who worked on the

stripping wallpaper and found a thin wire similar to a radio
aerial
running round the picture rail of a back bedroom...........
One of the
previous owners was an aircraft engineer.
