Beachcombing Finds: last Friday whilst on a beach clean up at Hightown we found a linoleium(?) letterpress of a page from John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids - chapter 11 'And Further On'.

It’s called a stereotype plate. It’s made through an intermediate process of a heavy paper mold called a flong. The flong is pressed into the original laid out type, then lead alloy is cast into the mold to form what you found! See https://glennf.medium.com/flong-time-no-see-2b54438027dd
