I've hacked off the plaster on my hall walls back to the bricks in order to replaster. Once it was off, I noticed that there is a length of wood between the course of bricks about two or three inches above the skirting boards. I've never seen this before (I'm not a builder or anything so it may be quite common for all I know) so does anyone know what it's for and if I should leave it? It goes back about the width of one brick.
The house is a mid terraced built in 1901.
I've taken a few photos. Thanks.
