Mudlarking the River Thames - Finding the Treasures left behind by people long ago (May 2021)

Forgotten people from long ago left evidence of their existence in the dark waters of the River Thames. At low tide some of it washes up for us to find when we are out mudlarking. Join me down on the Thames foreshore as I search for lost, forgotten and discarded objects and then let your imagination run wild as you imagine who once owned it, smoked it, lost it and what were their lives like!? When we find lost objects on the Thames foreshore, it is really like touching history and these objects are a link to the past. Whilst researching the items that we find, we learn things that we didn't even know that we needed to learn! In today's video I find a special pipe bowl that conjured up images of pirates, but the reality of who smoked it is very different! Maybe you can help me to identify the coin I found too!

If you are tempted to try mudlarking on the River Thames then you need a permit from the Port of London Authority. You can find all the details here:-

The following organisations are really helpful when it comes to identifying clay pipes-
