Some just on the bricks/piers, others on padstones, and the column has since been underpinned with a load of concrete (photos are from the day the work was done so a few updates)
Also a few sections of steel plates welded here and there.Building inspector has been out and had a look for what it’s worth :)
edit: opening in the first photo is only about 1.4m too
edit 2: exactly how I managed to get a 2:1 in Civil Engineering with such a lack of basic knowledge about how buildings work is something that still makes me ponder 10+ years later…
I can't see very well from your photos but are those steels sitting on padstones?
