Sounds like a pointing problem.

Sounds more like a bridged cavity, doesn't it?

In a house built in 1928 ...?


Well, cavities became common in the UK in the 1920's, didn't they?
Our 1930 house has a cavity. The OP said it's cavity construction and
it's not uncommon for builders to throw crap down the cavity or mortar
snots to get caught on any ties, or any subsequent modification to
result in debris falling into the cavity.

Our 1935 house and the 1934 bungalow next door have cavities, my
parents' 1935 house 3/4 mile away has solid walls. According to previous
threads here, quite a few Victorian houses have cavities.

It's all a bit random really.
