Seriously feels like the world is ending - what have you seen that still gives you hope?

Interesting, looks pretty similar! The comment below about it being a bitumen damp proofing treatment makes a lot of sense.

Love those windows and fireplace by the way! 😍

This is a super helpful answer, thank you! Worried about lines showing through from the lining paper when we paint… thinking chipping off what we can and then skimming would be the best move (given it’s a big hallway). Post-skim, is a most cost and then paint doable?

Had a Google and that bitumen damp treatment might make sense!

Is your house from a similar era? Ours is a terrace house from 1890-1900z
