I have a 1930 semi, in the lounge we have damp on the chimney breast. The top is capped with a vented cowl. Is the damp coming from the floor? This is an internal wall with the neighbour. I’ve attached an image it is like this on the other side. Any help appreciated, thanks

You could chop out the plaster and seal the brick as a first step but damp can rise through the hearth when the fire place is no longer used so it might end up as a bigger job.
