The Caxton Press was founded in Shildon , County Durham in the United Kingdom in 1930 by Frank Wawne, 1900 1995. The business specialised in Letterpress printing , and boasted two 19th century, belt driven, hand fed printing presses, a Gordon and a Golding. During World War II Mr. Wawne took the unusual step of ordering a printing press for the business from Heidelberg, ref http www.heidelberg printing press.com Heidelberg printing press.com ref a German manufacturer. Hostilities meant that the sheet fed crown platen couldn t be delivered until 1952. The company went from strength to strength, specialising in business cards, invitations and bespoke wedding stationery , running from the original tin hut in Mafeking Place, Shildon. On Mr. Wawne s retirement in 1989, the business was taken over by a Worthing Firm. The introduction of modern processes including the offset printing methods and the introduction of Desktop publishing computerised typesetting eventually brought about the closure of the major letterpress suppliers, forcing the business to finally close its letterpress side of the business in October 2002 after 72 years.
