Join me on the River Thames foreshore, London, Great Britain, at low tide. Search for historic finds and experience the riverbed uncovered. I show how fragments of social history unlock doors to learning more about the way we lived. This week I find Roman, Medieval, and Georgian artefacts, talk a little on Black Country brickworks, So come along for a search through our liquid history…
