Christine Webb will be coming to talk to us about mudlarking and will bring along a few artifacts that have been found. Mudlarking is searching the banks of rivers, in this case the Thames, for the artefacts that are revealed when the tide goes out. Objects from the thousands of years of London’s occupation such as pottery, clay pipes, coins, toys and buttons can be found. Some of the most important archaeological finds, such as the Battersea Shield, have come out of the mud of the River Thames. Every low tide is a new opportunity to discover more about the history of London. Doors open at 7.15 and we are very sorry but due to limited space, we are unable to have visitors at this meeting.
