Thames Mudlarking

Review:

What a neat little volume, about a neat little hobby.

Mudlarking is essentially beachcombing, but on the Thames River. The things that people discover at low tide are always unique.

Thousands of coins, tube tokens and clay pipes. But also an authentic Victoria Cross medal and fossils of Neanderthal humans.

Plenty of pictures and a good narrative of the history of this unusual scavenging practice throughout the centuries of the metropolis.

This book made me want to: read Sherlock Holmes again
