    It looks like it fronted a building. The roughness on the back is to help it hold when cemented into place. Many areas of the seacoast and many many dumps were filled with the truckloads of debris from the Blitz. which is why there are so many items that date to 1939 and before. The brick work was so extensive that it was even sent out as ballast in some ships of the day. (some reportedly ended up in New York).

    The perseverance and hard work you both used to rescue this lovely piece of history was truly an extreme mudlark and definitly worth at least a cup of tea. You could even do a casting from it and maybe make more of them? I think if you find bigger ones that you can't remove, then maybe do a pencil rubbing and turn it into a painting. I am also thinking you either have a ghost, person or your latch to your front door isn't catching as from 26:05 of your video your front door periodically opens and closes.lol.
