That was the sparky's method when we had our (1830-ish, solid brick 
walls) house rewired a few years ago -- smash out channels in the 
bricks, lay the cables, plaster over ... and hope the walls still have 
the strength to hold the roof on.

Fortunately we had CAT-6 cables (and some coax TV aerial cables) as well 
as mains power put in, so most of what we want works more-or-less where 
we want it.
