  3. Strangers on the Shore

    Strangers on the Shore

    Come join us for some Mayday Mudlarking as we explore the Thames foreshore with mudlarker Ollie Dory on a beautiful spring morning. Mainly due to the preserving anaerobic mud of the Thames, coupled with the fast flow and rapid tides of the old river. Extraordinary treasures can unearthed, you just have to know where to look for them. Clay pipes, to medieval daggers, to mysterious fairy loaves from an even more ancient time, the Thames is the great memory store of the city. Expect bone tides, bicycles and very wet socks. Enjoy!
