Pattress plates. They’re attached to a rod that passes through the brickwork and is anchored at the other end to provide lateral restraint to the wall. Modern cavity walls use a smaller concealed version simply called wall ties.

Theyre called Anchor plates. the kind of “washer” on the end of a long rod that’ll have another on the other side of the house/wall/hovel. They reinforce bulging brick walls.
Humans. They point at stuff sometimes.
I am disappointed no-one has yet replied with ‘bricks’.
Must try harder Reddit.
Your question has been answered but my old man who was a builder always called them ‘fish plates’. I remember him telling us to watch out for them when we were buying our first house.
Tickle it and find out
That’s a bandaide on a bigger problem.
They were all over the place after the bombing during the second world war. Where individual houses had been bombed out of a row of terrace houses. They stop the walls collapsing outwards.
I had the same question in my young mind for a long time, lol.
I’m fairly sure they are called Bricks, typically you can stack them with cement to make strong weatherproof structures like walls or supermarkets.
Wall Tittys
It’s called a black squiggle. People use them to conceal their face in photos. Whoever is in that photo likely didn’t want their identity revealed.
Wall tits.
Wall tits.
Anti graffiti cannons, get too close and they fire out a black tube that wraps around your head and suffocates you.
This is Garrads road !!
As a professional shelf stacker at tesco, I have no idea.
Wall tits. Duh.
Is this gerrards road, streatham?
Did anyone else think the OP was wearing a gimp mask?
Is this tooting/edge of Streatham
These? An indicator of serious movement , so much so, the local surveyor or an architect had seen fit.to.arrest the movement. It’s a plate on the end of a threaded rod that may have a spreader plate behind.
This spreads the load.
You usually see these or crosses on 9″ brickwork esp war damaged buildings.
Used to live round the corner from where you took this picture and always looked at these when cycling past 😂
Corner of Garrards Rd and Tooting Bec Gardens. Irrelevant but informative

I believe it is a wall nipple.
