    does anyone know anything about this? Built into an old wall at our new home ? It has holes in eyes mouth so some kind of wall mounted water feature - anyone have any information on it ?

    Interior wall or exterior wall? It looks like the plate for a pull-bell or door bell that has a depending wire with drop.

    Thanks it was on an external side wall adjoining to the house . House was built c. 1900 possibly slightly later . Is this from that period ? It is a solid block not a plate ?

    I assume that the hole goes all the way through, so it is a block to give the access for the wire, with a "built-in" cover plate. IF it is indeed for a bell. BTW, when I say wire, I am NOT referring to electrical wiring, just wire used to pull on.
