Hi Guys

Just looking for a little advice.

We have an end terraced house built in the late 20s/early 30s and are having issues with cracking in the corner of the living room ceiling.

As far as I know the ceiling is the original lath and plaster and hasn't been overboarded.

Do the attached photos show anything potentially to worry about or are they OK to fill and repaint? I made the mistake of trying to hoover over them when cleaning cobwebs and it's made them look worse with all the dust that's been pulled down.

I don't know if it's relevant but there are some cracks on the outside wall we're looking at getting sorted too (also attached). These are on the same wall but not directly behind.

Cheers
