For over 2,000 years, the River Thames has been a repository of lost objects which have been accidentally dropped or purposely discarded in its waters. In this presentation to the Goldsmiths' Centre in London, Nick Stevens and I share some of the fascinating backstories behind the incredible artefacts that we have recovered from the River Thames. Mudlarks have discovered many historically significant artefacts - including gold, silver, gemstones and other precious objects - which are featured in this lecture. Each object reveals a unique and different story about London’s illustrious, rich history. This talk, organised by the Goldsmiths' Centre, was held online in July 2020. Special thanks to Charlotte Dew for organising this presentation.
