The Secrets That Lie Buried In the Thick Black Mud Of The Thames

A forthcoming Chiswick Pier talk given by Jason Sandy

What secrets lie buried in the thick, black mud of the River Thames? For over 2,000 years, the Thames has been a great repository of lost and discarded objects. Each object, whether mundane or extraordinary, reveals a unique story about London and the people who lived here centuries ago.

Jason Sandy, a member of the exclusive Society of Thames Mudlarks, has found and recovered incredible artefacts which are on display in several museums.

If you would like to see part of his extensive mudlarking collection and hear the intriguing backstories about the extraordinary artefacts, Jason will be giving the January Talk by the Thames at Chiswick Pier Trust. Come along for an epic journey through London’s illustrious history.

It takes place on Tuesday 29 January at 7.30 pm at Chiswick Pier Trust, The Pier House, Corney Reach Way, W4 2UG. Tickets are £3 for non-members and free for members. Doors open at 7pm for 7.30 pm
