We had an engineer spec the removal of our wall. Originally the builder was going to use the existing bits of wall at either side, but the bricks were on their edge and the wall could be taken apart by hand once the plaster was off.
So they re built the bits at either end. Also had to reinforce the sections under the new piers, with steel at one end.

Just seen this super useful diagram, thanks so much for knocking it up. Makes understanding a lot easier when inevitably things can get lost in translation. I'll look again with the torch to see if I can see said padstones and if not peel more plaster away.
@tgr @bigshape thanks for explaining this. Do you think you could expect your usual builder to know about these things? If you don't know no worries, you've all be so useful already.
