Perhaps investigate the fluro paint - it may be there to indicate something of note.

I've got a small angle grinder, would a wire brush cup work or is that asking for trouble? (and no, I don't know why the fluro yellow paint is there).
Wire brush cup would strip the mortar between the bricks faster than you can say "oh shit".
If you don't mind the time some Paint Panther and a stiff bristle brush might net you some results.

Started removing paint in the cellar as a lot of it's flaking off and lower down the walls either seems a little damp, of there's a lot of mineral build up.
Photo is first go yesterday. A fair bit has come off with a scraper today. But the upper sections are a bit more stubborn sections and there's some sort of cement skim(??) in places. It's all going to get painted, but I want to remove as much of the old paint and will repaint it all with some sort of 'breathable' paint as the cellar does get a little damp from time to time.
