So you want to be a Mudlark?

 

Description

This walk with the Thames Discovery Programme examines much of the accessible foreshore of the City of London. Along the route we will see remains of the once busy waterfront including the last operational wharf in the city. We will pass the outlet of the Wallbrook and pass city livery companies dating from the Middle Ages. We will probably see, in amongst the pebbles, fragments of pottery, bottles, smoking pipes and nails deposited there over the centuries. We will discuss the foundation of London by the Romans and its subsequent abandonment, it's re-occupation and growth into the international city we see today.
