Are these stud walls load bearing - 1960s semi

[agulesin]

Hello,

I've been through a few of the "Search results for query: can stud wall be load bearing" but still think that I need to ask the following question:

We're thinking to remove the side stud wall(s) of the 'larder' in the corner of our 1960's semi kitchen. There is an airing cupboard on the floor above whose walls are also stud and appear to align with those below. 'Wall A' between the kitchen and sitting room is probably load bearing - haven't checked the construction yet. Wall between bedrooms is directly above this.

I'm worried that the larder walls are helping support the floor/walls above (also stud walls). I haven't checked the joist direction upstairs yet but will do ASAP and update this post. Is there anything else I need to check before setting into the larder with my crowbar?

Please refer to attached photos/diagram. Thank you for your assistance. A/C is airing cupboard on first floor. Note the larder cieling is lower than the kitchen - will this cause problems is another thing on my mind!

Might make sense to hack some holes in the ceiling inside the larder, and see what is being supported by it

50mm thick cupboard walls are not load bearing - no.
