I am not sure if the earth wire above is just clamped to that incoming cable or if it goes inside it. It looks like it is just clamped to it, and I suspect the out sheath acts as the earth.
Meant to mention that too, I am assuming it is dead because the spark was supposed to replace any VIR back in 1980. It was a condition of the mortgage that any VIR was replaced with PVC. However I will do some investigation to find out.
The one thing I do know about electrics is never assume anything.
