Im just suprised that the house being so solid appears to have
this weakspot. Is it just typical of houses of that era and
design?

I was a BCO in SW London for eight years: on my patch cavity walls
did not come into general use until the end of the 1930's,

Not in the 2 1/2 bed design from 1931 on, I still own two of these, in fact
my family built hundreds of these they were all cavity wall construction.
Must have been some real cheep-skate builders on your patch.
