Description
Thames Mudlarking: Searching for London's Lost Treasures Discover the fascinating history of London through the objects found on the River Thames. Mudlarks, groups of archaeology enthusiasts, have been combing the shoreline at low tide since the eighteenth century, uncovering a vast array of historical artefacts. From ancient river offerings to seventeenth-century trade tokens, these finds provide a glimpse into the city's past. Illustrated with photographs of the items in situ, this book explores a range of finds from prehistoric to modern times. The Thames estuary, with its muddy banks and gravelly shores, is a treasure trove of historical secrets. This book brings these stories to life, revealing the rich and illustrious history of London and its inhabitants.
