But it's invisible until the plaster falls off!

Uh, I think we got the picture that you dont like the use of lathe & plaster. As lost mentioned, its invisible under the plaster! Its a method not just used in the UK, here in the US it was used pre manufactured drywall also.

Same here in Canada. IIVQ, the only reason this wall would look ugly is because the plaster fell off over the years like a good looking person would not be too good looking if their skin fell off.
Plaster and lathe fell out of favour when drywall was introduced because it is difficult to install and repair unlike drywall which is extremely easy to install and repair. And a properly done plaster job looks damn good while in good repair.

I know. But when in disrepair it looks ugly.

My question would be - why not just plaster directly onto the stonework? Does using the lathes mean that it's easy to get a smooth finish or something?

Because of the damp I expect plastering straight onto the stone would be pretty ineffective - wouldn't it just start breaking off?

In a previous post, the base coat oozes in between the lathe boards forming "keys" that when hardened, act as mini-anchors to hold the plaster in place. The base coat is rough to hold the top coat in place just like primer holds the finish coat of paint in place.

Further - you would have had to have an expansion gap (From the wall) as 'plaster' in them days was a lot less flexible than it is now.
