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…

If the building inspector has signed it off there's no problem.
Pro tip: Get photo documentation yourself with date / time stamps of everything the building inspector has been to check. I worked for a client in the past who had to remove large sections of bonding and plaster, then make good again, at their own cost, because the council building inspector lost the paperwork.

I can't see very well from your photos but are those steels sitting on padstones?
