I normally like to read the Jeff Howwell column in the Telegraph (web

My early 70s house has brick or blockwork walls throughout, upstairs
and down. Should these be called something other than partitions, or
is he talking ********?

He's talking ********! victorian terraced houses have always been 'brick'
partitions

No, you are. Timber framed lath and plaster
walls are common in Victorian terraced houses.
T&G panelled walls are also not unknown from
that time.
