Default wood at base of interior brick wall

In a 1913 built small terraced house I have found that at the base of the interior walls there is a layer of wood at ground level. Below the wood is the top of the foundations and above the wood is the brick interior wall.
I know little of such matters and just wondered if this was the norm for council houses built around this time. Also what would have been the reason for putting the wood in there?
Thanks to anyone who knows their building history!
