Hands on History: Discovering London Clay with Tom Chivers

  • Team London Bridge 8 Holyrood Street London, England, SE1 2EL United Kingdom (map)

Explore the rich history and geography of the Thames with author, poet and licensed mudlark Tom Chivers.

Drawing on objects found in the river from London Bridge, Bermondsey and Rotherhithe, Tom will tell the story of Southwark from its early days as an island settlement across the river from the Roman city of Londinium. You will have the chance to hold objects from London's past - from Roman pottery sherds to medieval and Tudor jewellery - and hear Tom read from his acclaimed book London Clay ('Action-packed, erudite' - The Times).
