Please analyse my crack!

joking aside, we have stripped old wallpaper and discovered this. The crack runs from the ceiling, along the walls and then stops. Would it worry you? Wall hasn’t been papered in decades and plaster is likely to be very old

That wouldn’t worry me in the slightest.

Thanks @Icelandeesh guess I need to stop googling subsidence signs!

No, wouldn't worry me. Rake it out going back to sound plaster, then fill. Sand down after.

It doesn't look worrying to me and I love to worry about cracks!

Hard to tell from the photo but is the shadow in the corner signs of an old water leak that could’ve caused the crack?

it wouldn’t worry me tbh

I don’t think so, the top is where a bay window is so no plumbing etc. I think I’m overreacting perhaps! Thanks all

Wouldn’t worry me at all. Rake out and fill. You tend to find some normal movement where wall and ceilings meet.
