Noticed a hole at bottom of outside window, please see pic. Anyone know what it is? if windows safe? if anything needs to be done?
Thanks all in advance.

Also a hole on the opposite corner too.

A wooden sill has been removed when old widows were replaced.
Either the hole was never filled, or the filling fell out

Is it dangerous that the hole was never filled or filling fell out? Just my idiotic neighbours were saying the windows can fall out if you by knock window or when putting pressure on window from pressing on it when cleaning because of the two holes? Made me worried.

It should be screwed into the brickwork in several places- so should be ok

Window shouldn't go anywhere.
Fill those holes and try to match the pebble.

Your neighbour is an idiot, fill the hole and re-dash.

Original timber windows were held into the brickwork with extended cills and heads......they were called ‘horns’ and these are the holes you see.

Just open the windows, which should reveal several screws fixing the frames to the brickwork.
