Thanks Tom. Is it a floor tile. Odd shape

Probably a floor tile... look at old victorian tiled floors

Wait for @timeless john to see it, he probably laid a few in his youth.

Thank you Albert. They all seem to be square in shape, mine is quatrefoil. That's the part I am struggling to find

Thank you, they all seem to be square not like mine.

Does anyone think this tile was square to begin with, and then cut to this shape.

No, it would have been made that shape.

Not exactly the same shape nor as old but you get the idea.
