Saw this on the news the other day, an interesting story which it would be interesting to know more about.
Printing blocks for a typeface called Doves Type have been discovered in the River Thames.
The font has not been used for nearly a century as the printing type blocks, used to print letters, were thrown into the river in 1917.
