Pulhamite was a patented anthropic rock 'material' invented by James Pulham (1820–98) of the firm James Pulham and Son of Broxbourne.
Pulhamite, which usually looked like gritty sandstone, was used to join natural rocks together or crafted to simulate natural stone features. The recipe went to the grave with him.[1]
