Are there plates on the end walls? |

Are there plates on the end walls? My thoughts also. Most times you do not see them as they are run between joists but since the picture shows an outside wall the joists in a row of terraces would be perpendicular to that wall and prevent the tie bar passing between ceilings and upper floor hence why you can see it. It would make a useful clothes hanger.  Richard |
