Will have to double check when back, but it dip goes down the room a little but not all the way to the other side (there presumably would’ve been a similarly large gap between the skirting board and carpet on the other side if so). This is the only dip in the skirting from what I could see.Is that dip just at the end by the skirting, or does the floor dip in a line from that place to the other side of the room?
Is there one dip or others along the skirting?

Just post on here when you are read - keep the thread together.

As there is a ceiling below, then any post construction bowing of the joist(s) would crack the ceiling. OK, the ceiling may well have been re-boarded in the past (plasterboards would not tend to be original in Victorian times), but a bow would still show.
Try your level on the celling below. Also what is that room? just a bedroom?
But TBH, there could be several possible reasons, but fundamentally it would not be a structural concern.
Saggy baggy joists almost certainly. If you've managed to check that the joist ends aren't rotten then it's just old age...not going to suddenly fall out the sky but wonky floors can be a nuisance
