Thames Mudlarking: Searching For London’s Lost Treasures

Members of the Society of Thames Mudlarks, the co-authors are both avid mudlarkers and have packed this treasure-trove of a guide with mudlark history: from fossilised sea urchins to shields, amulets, brothel tokens, hair pins, rings, sword pommels, buckles, brooches, bottles, toys, pipes and skulls. Glimpses of London over millennia are hauntingly recovered and their stories retold by the finds of the mudlarks down by the Thames. Beautiful photography. • Published by Shire Publications in paperback RRP £9.99. www.shirebooks.co.uk ISBN: 9781784424329 HT
