My Mudlarking talk has been given to various WIs and U3As in Hammersmith, and other Putney groups.
The talks and the tour are based on my book Guide to Mudlarking, which describes areas along the riverbank, interviews mudlarks and shows what you can find along the foreshore.
Mudlark tour with a WI group on the Uber Boat. A trip from Putney to Canary Wharf showing my Mudlarking sites along the way and visiting the Museum of London Docklands with its Mudlark displays.
We use a map of the mudlarking areas of the Thames, and I show my finds from different areas of the riverbank and tell their stories.
The book describes walks along the River Thames where you can see Mudlarks searching the foreshore.
Drawings and descriptions of the many objects you can find on the riverbank.
And safety warnings for visiting this amazing tidal river.
These are some of my special finds:-
My Mudlarking talk
An entertaining and informative introduction to the hidden treasures of the Thames.
Discover the fascinating history of the River Thames through the objects found along its foreshore.
I show a selection of my own finds and explain what these objects tell us about London’s past and share stories from other mudlarks.
I also offer trips along the Thames by Uber Boat, pointing out mudlarking sites along the way.
My talks have been enjoyed by Women’s Institutes (WI), U3A groups and local organisations around London.
