Right I did a couple of chases today in a kitchen and underneath the plaster was what I would describe as loose shingle. Grey stones, around two inches in diameter, held together with something that wasn't obviously visible to the naked eye, no visible mortar or anything, and no signs of any other section of the wall keeping all this up. This was on outer and party walls, and from the look of the outer wall, it didn't look thick enough to e an inner skin of a cavity wall.
I did take pics, I'll try and upload them tomorrow (only just got in after trying to get a fixing in these damn thigs).
Has anyone seen this before? What's it called, and how the hell can you work with it? Post war house, probably mid-50s maybe even 60s. Internal walls are a mix of cinder and brick.
