Took the plasterboard off of the stud wall between front and rear receptions hoping something a little bit more substantial was holding up the 1st floor.
Victorian property, I'd assumed these walls in this position were always solid brick unless modified later, but this looks like it was originally build as a stud wall with brick infill, then at some point replaced with a newer stud frame and some of the original bricks (on their edge) pointlessly left in place
