What I am saying is you need to proceed with caution as the quality of the bricks can not be assumed good. Bricks made 150 years ago have large variations in quality based on where how and with what ingrediencies they were made with. A brick made in the deep south where quality clay is hard to come by will be totally different than bricks made in other areas. Are the walls like the picture above where the exterior and interior wall are the same bricks or is the brick just a facia will also come into play. If your bricks are of low quality the mortar joints may be the least of your worries and it might be better to repair the concrete facia to protect the bricks. If your bricks are of good quality then yes repointing the mortar joints to save the brick wall will be a good idea.
Personally I would leave the concrete facia in tact. Might take off the flaking pieces and repoint the exposed mortar. Removing the concrete facia may do more damage than good in the spots where it is still stuck to the wall good. But that is a decision that will have to be made from a job to job after a close examination of the wall conditions not available over the internet.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
