Apologies for stating the obvious but much depends on the state of the

building the blocks flush to that.


It's likely crap lath and plaster - cottage is from 1890 and mine (or soon
to be mine hopefully!) are.

I have something very like that in my c1900 semi. Was filled up with

[*] The party wall is built in brick and at the top of some of the
walling infill with quilt has been added to
improve fire resistance and sound insulation. At the rear end there is some modern blockwork which looks
very recent and seems satisfactory.
