The gaps at the ends of the beams are now filled with brickwork and there’s a thin slurry over the top. The slurry goes down into the gaps between the blocks and beams and sets, locking the whole thing together.
The air bricks are of a sort of telescopic periscope design. The inner ends are built in under the bricks which have been put between the beam ends and the outer ends are left to be built round when the outer skin is worked on.
